Yeah I hope for that every year too, but especially this year. I wanna see $28 million dollars go down the drain out of George's wallet.

...Ok, as posted before, Clemen's salary will be pro-rated so he stands to only get about $18.5MM.
True, the yanks are over the salary cap...so Georgie will pay 40% more as a luxury tax...aboyt $24MM....just to be accurate.
In context, not a horrible move by the injury plagued Yanks. Their pitching is in dire straits this yr due to injurues and Carl Pavano is done for the yr, again.
Clemens is a rescue effort but the Yanks have no financial committment past this yr, which in itself probably saves them money.
In contrast...Clemens will cost them a projected $8,300/pitch this yr. Pavano will have cost the Yanks $24,000/pitch...so maybe Roger is a steal!
