Question

do you really think that roger clemen's is going to retire?

Answer 1

No hell no he's not retiring. He's been doing this for the las 3 years to get a good jucy one year deal contract with a team that wants to have him "fort the last time".

The Houston Astros payed about 18 million for half a season last year because he didn't start playin 'till after the All Star Break.

This year he pretends to do the samething. He will decide to play for a team that's willing to pay him 20 million dollars after the All Star Break because he's got some personal stuff to do like watching his son play or I don't know what he'll come up with this year.

We like him in Houston, a lot of people love him, don't get me wrong. But enough is enough! if he's gonna retire then do so but if he's gonna continue playing then tell us how much he wants and let's get this over with.

Answer 2

Like I answered in another question, yes Roger Clemens will most likely retire. He said he has a 20% chance of returning to the majors. He is getting old, and he hasn't been what he used to be. He hasn't been pitching well, and he won't improve much.

Also, he costs too much, just for an old player, who is over rated, sure he WAS good, but now he's old. No team, except the Astros will pay 5 million, for a player who will pitch 6 games, and lose 5. He's old, and he will retire.

Answer 3

The longer this Clemens side show continues the less interested I've become. It's at a point now where I'm beginning to believe that the Rocket thinks he's bigger than the game. Now one, not even Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle are bigger than the game. Roger needs to make up his mind now or retire. Quit trying to bleed a team for all he can. He's like a mercenary, (Have Arm Will Travel). I for one am getting sick of it.

Answer 4

I think you'd have to ask Clemens that. You have to think one of these days he will lose the passion to play that has carried him the last five years. I'd add a funny ancedote to that. I was at a minor league playoff game that his son was playing in last year- and this is in the middle of Houston's big run against St. Louis- and Clemens goes up to Lakewood to watch the game while the Astros were playing a game. If I had to guess, I think he packs it in and signs on as the pitching coach for whatever team his son ends up on.

Answer 5

I wish not. He could win at least 15 this year if he started the beginning of the season. He is at 348 wins now. Roger came out earlier in the week and said he was 80% and 20%. He was in fact leaning to retire. You should check it out at MLB.com.

Answer 6

No way! He said himself that he is not doing a very good job at retiring. He's baseballs Brett Farve or basketballs MJ, he has too much competitiveness to quit. He'll have to really hit the wall before he can walk away.

Answer 7

Not this season. Anyone who saw him play last season, would know that he still has the stuff and he still wants to go out on top by winning a championship. The question mark is if he will be injured because of his age but until that time, he has to keep going. It would be a tremendous waste if he didn't.

Answer 8

If he does not retire then he will return to either NY or Boston, which ever is doing better at the time. He will not go back to that sinking ship that is the Astros.

Answer 9

Eventually... he is getting old. But not this year. As long as Tom Glavine doesnt retire.

Answer 10

Yes he will. He's not up for moving his family at this point of their lives. He's home in Texas and very happy.
