Some ruminations on Roger Clemens’ season numbers, if you will.
| Starts | IP | IP/Start | H | ERA | K/9 IP | K/BB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-6 | 38.6 | 6.4 | 33 | 3.49 | 6.5 | 3.11 |
| 7-11 | 26.3 | 5.2 | 35 | 5.13 | 4.8 | 1.75 |
Clemens is getting paid approximately $1 million per start, and recently he’s failed to deliver. Alarmingly, his hits allowed are up and his strike out numbers are well below his career low. If the other options that we’ve seen – Kei Igawa, Tyler Clippard, Chase Wright – weren’t so dreadful, we’d be a whole lot more concerned about Clemens’ longevity and pitching than we are right now.
