"It might cause some friction," Farnsworth said on Chicago's 670 AM The Score of Clemens' deal. "Granted this is going to be his (Clemens') 23rd or 24th year and he can get the opportunity to do that, but still, I think if you're going to be part of the team you should be there always.

"You win as a team, you lose as a team. I respect what he's done and I respect him as a person and a player but to be a part of the team you have to be there with the team."

Now, I agree with him as a general principle. The only question I have is why say it at all? I mean, he didn't say anything particularly bad, but why feed into the "frenzy" (if you want to call it that)? Do you need attention or something? Are you looking to stand out from your teammates and get noticed? I don't know.
