Cant hurtI need some tips on hitting.. where can I find hitting tips for baseball online?
a million dollars a week- 4.5mil a month!- for a 44 yr old guy to come out and throw some 200 pitches-don't even have to bat- one time a week most weeks. If that is the best value for the dollar, then pro baseball pitching really SUCKS. I hope he gets an inning or two in before a strange rain begins to fall from a cloudless sky. Every time. Sorry to rant, but there are thousands of people who risk their lives daily in their jobs, and he will earn more from pitching in 4 games than most of them will see in their entire lives. Astounding.How much is this Rookie card worth?
I doubt any, he isn't worth the money they are paying him. He is going from the NL central, one of the worst divisions, to the powerhouse of the AL east. I see him getting lit up a couple of gamesRed Sox fans hateful and mean?
i don't think that Roger Clemens will have any impact on the al east at all he should have stayed with Houston Astros hands downif he can give them 12 wins it will have beeen woth it.....
What baseball bat is better the Easton Stealth or the Easton Comp?
I think you are the 12,453rd person to ask this today..but yes he will help. I don't think he will be enough to put them over the top though. He's still a few weeks away from pitching and the other starters haven't been great. I think getting Wang back will have the bigger impact for them. Roger looked great the last few years, but he wasn't in the AL East then. The AL lineups are better than what he faced in Houston. He wasn't near as good before he left New York. It makes them a better team, but don't hand them trophy because of it.Clemens will have a huge impact. It is debatable whether he can positively influence younger pitchers like Hughes and Wang, but he will help them on the field for sure.
If you could have one hitter and pitcher..?
It does not matter who they bring in they still win not win it all.Lets Go Mets 2007 World Champions!
There's a lot to that question. If Roger Clemens appears in New York in June, can notch a dozen wins with a sub-4 ERA and help mold Phil Hughes into something special, then he will have been worth every penny.
But that will not happen. With the offense the Yankees have, 12 wins won't be difficult for Roger - hell, Kei Igawa and Chase Wright have an ERA over 7.50 between them but still have three wins.
A sub-4 ERA? Clemens could very easily miss that mark by a lot - in either direction. We all know the AL-especially the AL East (Ortiz, Ramirez, Drew, Tejada, Thomas, Glaus, Young) is most certainly not the NL - or the NL Central. Though, over the last three seasons, Clemens has better peripherals (K/9, K:BB) and ERA outside of the NL Central, so we'll see what we get. Besides, Clemens' value is not just in what he provides, but in what he allows the Yankees to NOT send out there every five days (Igawa, Karstens, Wright, Rasner, DelSalvo, etc)
Will he help Hughes develop? Maybe, though Hughes was considered a top-notch phenom anyways, Clemens' help may merely be the equvalent of putting an extra layer of wax on the Porsche.
Roger will help, but he will not be what turns them from a .500 team into a wild card contender. The pitching is too much of a mess for his presence alone to olve the gap.
In the 2005 mlb season, what L.A dodger player had 75 runs or home runs in the first 2 months?
He's no the missing piece and they will NOT make it to the play-offs! They will finish 3rd in the AL East. So he won't effect it that much!Why is it that there are Canadian professianal baseball and basketball teams but none from Mexico?
a BIG impact?If a pitched ball hits the ground, then hits the batter what's the ruling?
Well if he's Clemens of last year when he was 7-6 with a low 2.30 era, he won't have much of an impact.Their key guy who HAS to get going is Rivera.He's having a horrible year. And as a Yankee hater, I hope it continues.Who's your best major league prospect?
Very little.What is rarer in baseball? Inside the park home run, or a balk?
My guess is that during the regular season they will win about 5 games more than they would've without him. Pencil him in for approximately 20 starts. Assuming with their offense the Yankees would win half of those games WITHOUT Clemens, it's reasonable to assume they might now squeeze out a few more wins from some of those games that might've been losses.The real reason the Yankees got him is to provide quality starts in the post-season - assuming they get there.
Why does Jonathan Papelbon look like a constipated seven year old when he pitches?
Impact? Much like that of a 20-pound iron meteorite. A smoking crater, lots of debris, and everyone wonders what that flaming, falling thing was and what just happened?Nah. He'll pitch, and usually pitch well, for six or seven innings. But he's not the only magic bullet the Yankees need.
