05/29: Clemens Next Start
Posted by: Patrick
Bryan Hoch talks about the posibilities for Clemens next start.
If Clemens were to join the Yankees on normal rest, he would line up to pitch on Saturday against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Because the Yankees have their top three pitchers -- Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte -- lined up to go in that series, Torre has said that he is not inclined to disrupt the rotation in order to pitch Clemens at Fenway Park, which he feels would create unnecessary dramatics.
If Clemens does not pitch at Boston, it is likely he could make his first big league start of 2007 during the club's series at Chicago June 4-7, likely as soon as Monday.
