Clemens to Be Free Agent; Undecided on '07
Too Early to Think About Next Season, Rocket Says

DALLAS (Nov. 2) -- Roger Clemens will file for free agency, but the seven-time Cy Young Award winner insists he hasn't decided whether he will pitch for the Houston Astros or anyone else next year.
"I just think it's too early to think about it. ... Right now, I don't have any thoughts of playing or not playing."
The 44-year-old Clemens didn't say when he will make up his mind about a 23rd season in the majors.
If Clemens does come back, it will likely to be for Houston, the New York Yankees , Boston or Texas . Any team outside that quartet is unlikely.
"Probably not," he said. "I don't see myself going outside that situation."
The Rocket went 7-6 with a 2.30 ERA in 19 starts last season with his hometown Astros, delaying the start of his season until late June.
