Rocket getting an MRI on his elbow

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 3, 2007 7:47 PM CDT in News

Roger Clemens is getting an MRI for a "tight" elbow.

Obviously not a good sign for him, or the Yanks...ligament damage would mean that he's done for the season. Although the silver lining would be that we'd be spared another offseason of "what will Roger Clemens do?" drama.

The Yanks have gotten a 4.45 ERA in 17 games for their roughly $20 million investment in Clemens this year.

Why on earth would that be relevant?

Just out of curiosity, of course.

clubhouse leadership?...

Clemens

As many veterans (particularly ones who have been on a World Series winner) as that team has, is Clemens' clubhouse leadership really going to make that much of a difference?

young guys like Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain

Isn't that a pitching coaches' job

being really talented is what helps those players.

well

he came in and gave his little rah rah speech to the team. it shouldn't, but the yanks are filled with mental midgets, so they probably needed that...

48-30

Starting counting from Roger's first start.

The Yankees

they lead the all of major league baseball in batting average, runs scored, on base percentage, slugging percentage, are second in hits, fifth in home runs and are even seventh in stolen bases.

So yeah...I don't think the Clemens contract has anything to do with their resurgence...especially since they are in the bottom half of the league in terms of ERA and WHIP.
