How will Roger Clemens do in Houston?

Journeyman · Apr 4, 2004

You guys expecting a typical Rocketman season?

Or expecting a big decline in production from Roger, he will probably lose 4-5 wins pitching over in the National League just from coming out early...

And will he be pitching with the same type of intimidation, knowing he must bat?

I see him like 13-7...I think he will lose alot of decisions coming out after 5-6 innings...

i hope his arm falls off on his first pitch

Shouldnt matter too much since he is the #4 starter on the team in my view. Hell Tim Redding had a great spring this year as well as a pretty strong year last year

He probably won't be priced like #4. May be a good go-against if you can get +190 or more. Then again, maybe those days are over.

12-12.

IS

Roughly 14-12 with a mid to high 4 ERA. Will be a money losing pitcher. Team will win around 55% of his games.

He is gonna have a brutal season. Especially at home in that bandbox. People seem to forget that in his last 2 postseason starts he got lit up early and often. I will bet against him every start. I hope he doesn't start off 15-1 or so like he did a few seasons ago

Journeyman · Apr 4, 2004

But he will also be facing the other teams #4....I don`t think he came back just for kicks...No pitcher has been more determined

GreenDoberman · Apr 5, 2004

He's not getting any younger. He's still priced like it's 1986. Fade him at every opportunity. Even if he goes 18-10, you'll likely make money on the steep prices on his name alone.

if he stayed in shape over the winter even though he was planning on being retired, he should still win at least 15 games. if he took it easy and sat around on the couch, at his age, he will pay for it. especially early in the season.

barman · Apr 5, 2004

We think he is attempting, and may succeed at following the path first laid by his hero, Nolan Ryan.

Ryan of course logged 20 years with the Mets, Angels and Astros before 'retiring' to Texas Rangers where he cut back his annual starts to low 30s and pitched two more no hitters, while racking up another 800 strikeouts.

We think he will pitch 3-4 more years and make a push for 5000 Ks. If he's healthy he could win 50-60 more games.

steeser · Apr 5, 2004

I'm in the minority here in that I think he will do very well.

He may get a few less W's by having to leave games for pinch hitters too (And Jimy has a short hook). But he will get more K's and have a lower ERA being in the NL. I see about 15 wins, with an ERA around 3.50.

Mr NJ Sports · Apr 5, 2004

He faces Brett Tomko in his first start... I will wait until his 2nd start to bet against him.

maxdemo · Apr 5, 2004

I have him going 15-8...JMO

Journeyman · Sep 8, 2004

A look back at what we said in April.

GreenDoberman · Sep 9, 2004

Through yesterday's start, the Astros were 19-10 in games he started. If you bet on him each time out you would be up +0.75 units for the year. He's been the favorite every time out.
He needed to win his last 5 to get in the plus for the year. I still say for the year, he's a net loser.
