He is an idiot, but I'm sure he'll do fine on the Yanks roster. I remember hearing a few weeks back what was holding him back in signing with Houston or the Yanks was supposedly he wanted to be with his family, and he didn't want to travel with the team on the road or in NY, but rather spend the time with his family and have charters to NY or wherever they were playing, just from Houston to wherever on game nights (only himself). In other words, he wouldn't travel with the team, but rather would only show up on nights where he'd have to pitch. If that isn't the ultimate selfish act as a player, I don't know what is. And what's with this $28M contract for 1 year!??? That is totally out of wack. I know ARod's contract stipulates he has to be paid the highest in the majors by $1, so does this mean that ARod gets $28,000,001 this season? Again, I think Clemens will do just fine again with the Yanks, but everything about the guy just reeks of selfishness.
