An article from the Houston Chronicle about Boston's interest in Clemens.
My favorite part is how it talks about other teams being stunned that the 'Stros didn't offer Clemens arbitration, like hi, are you not paying attention? We can't afford to sit around with our thumbs up our asses waiting to find out if Mr Maybe I'll Pitch Maybe I Won't is going to suck up a third of our payroll or not. Roger Clemens =/= equal the entire team, and we have things to do, such as get Brad Ausmus to re-sign and bolster up our sad little offense. We wait till freaking February for Roger to make up his mind and not only will there be no moves left to make, but he may decide not to come back and then we've really screwed ourselves.
Please tell me what part of that does not make sense, because I'd really like to know. I think Boston in particular has forgotten that not every team has the second-largest payroll in baseball.
