The Yankees will look at Roger Clemens for the 2nd half of the upcoming season and there will be opportunities there. Clemens could come in and amp up the rotation--the no.5 starter might be moved to the bullpen and the plans to bring up some of the young arms might be postponed but it would be a thrill for the Yankee fans to see Clemens back in a pennant drive.
Boston has a huge advantage in talent over the Yankees. They have Matsuzaka now giving them four aces while the Yankees have none. They have time to fill their weakness at the closer spot; they have six-seven young arms starting with Lester, DelCarmen, and Hansen ready to play. They have Manny, Ortiz, and Drew in the rbi slots--they have COCO CRISP-- so it's hard to see how they can lose the AL East..but somehow..someway ..i expect they will. Even when they win a battle they seem to step in it--look at Matsuzaka-- they have already set the NEGATIVITY stage by signing him for Gil Meche money. His Agent can't wait for free agency for this guy at then end of his contract--like Clemens and Pedro before him- he may be the next late, great Boston pitching star--even before he signs his first deal--incredible.
