Astros, Koby Clemens agree to terms
Roger Clemens' oldest son was drafted in the eighth round
By Alyson Footer / MLB.com

HOUSTON -- Not long ago, Houston Astros general manager Tim Purpura called Koby Clemens the luckiest 18-year-old he knew.
Clemens had the choice of playing for the College World Series champion Texas Longhorns or signing with his hometown team, the Astros, who drafted the oldest of Roger Clemens' four sons in the eighth round of the June Draft.

On Thursday, Koby Clemens agreed to terms with the Astros, and the Memorial High School grad will soon leave for Greeneville, Tenn., where he will begin his professional career with the Astros' Rookie League affiliate.

Clemens was drafted as a third baseman after batting .523 (56-for-107) with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, a triple and 55 RBIs for Memorial High School. He posted a .953 slugging percentage and .617 on-base percentage, and he scored 39 runs and stole five bases.

On the mound, Clemens finished 8-3 with a 3.17 ERA and 86 strikeouts, holding opposing batters to a .203 average. He tossed three no-hitters and four complete games and was named the Most Valuable Player for District 18-5A.

The Astros have now signed 30 of their 48 selections from this year's draft.

Koby makes pro debut

Roger Clemens was on hand to see his son, Koby, play his first professional game Monday when the 18-year-old batted sixth for the Astros' rookie league team in Greeneville, Tenn. Clemens drew a walk but was held hitless in three other at-bats, putting the ball in play each time.

Meanwhile, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner will work out with the Greeneville team this week. Clemens, who's scheduled to pitch for the Astros on Friday in Washington, will throw his bullpen today in Greeneville.

Heads up

Look for Clemens to become a owner or partner of the Astros soon and remember where you heard it.

Its been talked about in the papers here already....not catching too many people off guard w/ that.
Either he is going to get a minor league franchise like Nolan Ryan (who is also a consultant for the team) or actually buy the franchise from Drayton Mclane.

KINGSPORT (WATE) -- Just over 20 years ago, Roger Clemens was making his climb through minor league baseball on his way to a Hall of Fame career.

Now it's time for the Rocket's son, Koby, to try the same thing.

And he's doing it right here in East Tennessee.

Koby plays for the Greeneville Astros, a farm team of dad's Houston Astros in the Appalachian League. An eighth round draft pick out of high school last month, he plays third base and has already seen some action.

He says he wants to be a major league player sooner, rather than later.

"Me and my dad have talked about it," Koby said." Short term, three years. Long term, five. That's our goal, somewhere in between those lines. That's my goal and what he would like me to do. I think it's a pretty good goal for right now."

"I think he understands," says his dad, Roger. "He's watched me enough to know that you fail a lot in this sport. And if you can handle that, you're gonna be all right. This is a nice facility to kick his pro career off. I haven't had a chance to look around town a lot but I hope to have a chance here and there to bounce in here and watch some baseball."

Roger watched Koby play the Kingsport Mets this week.

Kobe joins former Vol Eli Iorg in the Greeneville Astros line up. The Astros play their games at Tusculum College.
