I'm a huge Clemens fan but at his age $800,000 dollars a game come on. Thats more that the annual salary of agreat deal of the league.

You are a yankees fan.
no, he doesn't still have the stuff that made him a HOF.
No he definitely isn't worth 28 million a year, even though his contract is more like 13.8 million for half the year, because that is all he played.
Paying that much for the Rocket is crazy, and that is why he signed with the Yankees. I am willing to bet that even he never expected anyone to be crazy enough to pay him that much, but when the pitching crazed yankees needed someone, anyone, they dished out ALOT of moolah for a guy that isn't even highly productive anymore. I don't understand Yankees fans, who say, "The Red Sox spent SO much money on Dice-K, they spend just as much as the yankees, that much money is crazy!". Well lets think this through logically, Dice-K will come to the U.S. and spend many seasons being a great pitcher. His contract is for 7 years, which pretty much locks him up in Boston for a long time, and he will no doubt be at the very least a very productive pitcher. All signs are pointing towards all star caliber for Dice-K, in his future. They you have Roger Clemens. The Yankees go out and pay a 40+ year old pitcher years removed from the American league (AL is considerably stronger.) and pay him more money than most veteran pitchers. He only comes to the ballpark when he is pitching, and he pitches inconsistant, and has a .500 record. I like what the Red Sox did, and I think the Yankees just spent ALOT of money for nothing. But hey, when you have that much money, it doesn't really matter if you make a $28 million dollar mistake does it.

No one is worth 28 million or 18 pro-rated. Roger has shown flashes of his best but has also shown his age. If he can get some rest between starts he may help the Yankees in the push for the playoffs.

First of all, Clemens in his prime was a dominator and he is a certain Hall-of-Famer. But this year???
Try an ERA of 4.00 and a losing record. If that type of production is worth $28 mil for a half a season, then there are other MLB pitchers worth that kind of money as well --- powerhouses like Gil Meche and Scott Proctor (whose ERA is BETTER than the Rocket's).

Roger Clemens is my all time favorite player. I really don't think he's worth 28 million though. He just turned 45, he may still have it (somewhat) but he should have just stay retired.

If he has it, he hasn't found it yet. He's nothing more than a .500 pitcher at his age. Having Clemens is like having a Model T Ford, why spend so much money on it if your not going to use it that much and it's only going to break down on you if you do use it.
