Lets all hope Roger signs with the Yankees...

If Roger Clemens does indeed sign with the Yankees they will have at least two pitchers that they will need to trade. Right now the Yankees have 6 MLB starting pitchers...

Randy Johnson
Mike Mussina
Chen-Wing Wang
Andy Pettite
Carl Pavano
Igawa (still have rights but have yet to come to a contract agreement)

If the Yankees add Clemens that will make seven starting pitchers making two of them expendable (assuming they sign Igawa). I don't know if it is possible for the Yankees to sign Igawa to a contract then send him down to the minors, and I know its possible that they will just not sign him, but either way the Yankees will have to deal at least Pavano and possibly even Igawa/RJ. I just see the Yankee's as a good trading partner for SP. So like I said... lets hope they sign Clemens.

I hope they sign him too
But only because of the damage it does to the Astros' rotation.  Of those guys, the Yankees aren't going to trade Wang, and they're not going to trade Philip Hughes, their other wunderkind.  All the rest of that rotation, they can hang on to.  They won't give up what it would be great to get, so why bother with the rest.  I don't think they would be very good trading partners in this case.  But man, it would be awfully damn good not to have to see Clemens half a dozen times next year.

Giant sucking sound...
is the Astros lineup with the black holes of Everett, Ausmus and Biggio in it.  That team scores so few runs that it will be easy to beat them.

I'm calling the order now....

Cards
Brewers
Cubs
Reds
Astros
Pirates
