Ok, for most Yankees' Fans, this is undoubtedly the greatest news after Pain out of the season for his elbow. Just one day after Wang nearly achieved his first career perfect game, Roger Clemens showed up and announced his coming back to Bronx. With Wang healthy and dominant on the mound, we can see a nasty rotation of the Yankees - Moose, Andy Pettitte, Rocket, Wanger, and someone to be named. 4 out of 5 in this rotation are propably future hall of famer, and they still have couple of rising stars in the minors. But the problem is Aging. Mo is now struggling to save Yankees' games. Moose is very effective, but questionable to complete the season. Roger will not be back til June. How far can this rotation go? There's no exact answer. 4 years ago, when Carl Pavano signed with the Yankees (39.95M/4yrs), no one expected a 4-year-disabled contract. In the past 4 years, he went in and out the disable list because of bunch of ridiculous reasons, such as fractured thomb in a car crash, sprained ankle and wrist in his bathtub, and broken heart with his girl friend. Meanwhile, Roger did a fantastic job in Houston and won his 7th Cy Young Award in 2004. Recording only 7 wins last year though, he still showed his invulnarability on the mound. With Yankees huge run support, Roger is very likely to win some 13 to 18 games by the end of this season. 28 mil contract means just one thing, the World Series Title. Roger is the missing piece of Steinbrener's puzzle. He is brought out of Texas to fit in the frame.
