We all know A-Rod's contract was just nutty, but that's history. Roger, good-guy, in Houston-to-be-with-my-family, future hall of famer, etc. wants $22,000,000.00, to pitch for Houston for one lousy season.

So if he wins 22 games, $1,000,000.00 per victory, if he starts 28 times, a bargain at $785,714.28 per start, if he starts 28 games (remember, he doesn't like to go out of town) and throws an average of 115 pitches per game, $6832.98 per pitch.....


I like the guy and I'm sure someone will post how great a fellow he is, but his request is pure unadulterated greed. Plain and simple. Greed. Just greed.

Did he hire Latrell Speakwell as his agent? Did I miss something?

If I was the Astros, since he's asking for the sun, the moon ,and the stars, I'd give him the moon, figuratively "Moss-speaking" of course.

26 days till pitchers and catchers (and bankers) report.

Someone has to put the first number on the table and go from there. I think he spent to much time in NY and lost sight of reality.

You know Roger is in the twilight of his career and with a kid in college that I'm sure is not getting a full ride he is going to need a little more to make ends meet at home.

He is worth 15 million just for the extra people he will draw. Every time he pitched last year was a sell out.

Our HS Team is selling Ranger tickets as a fund raiser (yeah, yeah, I know, but hey, they played well last year), and the only games they have blocked out are Opening Day, July 4th and then a series with NYY and a series with the Astro's.
Keller Dad,
Sorry to be off topic...
NSHS is doing the same fundraiser...
If you need Yankees & Astros tickets, PM me!
We've got a great selection! 14

BTW, Clemen's is worth whatever the market will bear... If it $22m, then he's worth it! He does draw the crowd!!
