Why was Frank Crosetti never a manager in the Majors?
no, i dont even think signing Roger Clemens gurantees a playoff run. Remember, Clemens is going to be 45, he is not the hard throwing Roger Clemens of old and so far in his spring training tune ups for the major leagues in the minors, effects of his age are showing. I think because of the injuries and the lack of quality starters they have now, the Yankees are reaching for any hope of hope that they can find. the simple fact is if one man could get a team a championship, then Clemens would have bought the Astros team a few years back a world series, fact is, he could not even get them there and lost game 6 or 7 to the Cardinals that year in the national league playoffs, he got roughed up bad! So, the Yankees overpaid for a man over the hill and past his prime to bring them closer to the upstart Red Sox, but in the end they will see not even the ''Rocket'' can perform miracles.The Yankees in last place for their division.. How funny is that?
Guarantees, no. But it does enhance the Yankees' chances. The sooner he gets his *** on the team, the better they can be, and they can really use the help right now.4-16-07 Boston Red Sox box score?
Have you seen the standings lately? Right now I think they should be happy to get back to .500. Obviously no rational Yankee fan, at this point, has anywhere near this expectation, with Clemens or without.To Cincy Reds fans: how do you feel about Barry Bonds?
I am not a yankee fan. Not only does this not guaentee a championship, it will not make enough of a differnece for you to win your division. Too many injuries and he just will not start enough to change the swing more than, say 5 games, total.Yamkees aren't going to make the playoffs, and are going to finish at the end of the standings. With clemens or without clemens.

Look, I've been a Yankee fan for a long time. I'll be the first to say this: This teams has all the power they could ever need, but don't have any kind of pitching other then Mussina, and Clemens. Petite is good, but old and doesn't have all that extra in the tank like Clemens still might. They need to focus on pitching now! This will not be there year. And I hate saying that.Is Tony LaRussa a very questionable winner?
No, but with all the injuries to their pitching staff he will help them when he starts playing. Last year he had the lowest era in baseball for the time he played.Who will win the world series?
No. I truly don't but when faced with injury after injury a band-aid is the best that the Yankees can do in an attempt to salvage the seasonIf they do, they are smoking crack.
Rocket will help, no doubt. But no one player can guarantee a championship,

Roger Clemens, I look at it this way, When you have a pitcher like Clemens, he gets a lot of respect for what he has done in the past. He is coming back to the yankees where they have a few young pitchers. the young pitchers can learn a lot from watching him pitch. He can also help them by being a team player and hanging aroung on the days he doesn`t pitch and offering advice or tips. He can`t do that if he`s flying off to be home with his family 3 or 4 days a week. what kind of an example is that. The Yankees won`t win anything with him.What team in major league baseball has been no hit against the least of times of any other team?

i'm not so sure about a championship (although hopeful), if anything he'll give these pitchers some much needed advice/ tips from his experience.Go Yanks!
I hope not.I'm a red sox fan.
The Yankees problems are exactly the egos
and Clemens is a great pircher (nobody doubts it)

Im a lifelong die hard Yankee fan, and I can honestly say that it doesnt guarauntee anything. Nothing in life is garaunteed except death and taxes.No.
Playoffs yes, championship no, they need more than just one pitcher and I hate saying this, but, we need to start looking for a new closer Mariano Just isn't getting it done.
