So, I technically haven’t given up yet on my team. But desperate times call for desparate actions. Roger Clemens has come out of retirement and as a Yankee is an eligible free agent in the pool. Disgustingly he will be paid on average about $1,000,000 per outing! And the 44 year old will have the luxury of not having to travel out of town with the team for away games. Only has to privately fly his way out to the parks where he is scheduled to pitch.
Regardless, this pitcher has remarkable value for my team and better yet a name that can draw some serious trade bait. The problem is that this pickup is going to go for serious coin. I need to figure out how much I want this guy and for how much am I willing to pay. It will be a certainty that should I pick him up I will be hamstrung for any future pickups severely limiting my ability to pickup agents when players go down with injuries etc.
I’ll post the waiver results on Thursday when the week’s pickups are made….

So, I ended up paying the right price to get him. I’m sure it was overpriced but now I have him for 78 which gives me 11 dollars left to play with. If the other owners aren’t bs’ing me then I paid right since there were a couple of bids for 76 and 75.
Now, time to trade for some much needed offense.
