Would Steinbrenner save Rocket for the playoffs like the Astros do?
Is that 'really' why he left NY in the first place?
The Yanks want him sooo bad. But they're not gonna get him are they Irishman?
edit-Johnson sucks now. He got shelled all yr and has never had 'GREAT' control. His fastball obviously is NOT the world beater it used to be.
If the Yankees rotation is good enough to get them through June or July, then sure, they'll wait for Clemens. After all, Johnson was projected to be out until possibly May or June anyways, so it's not like they are altering the equation much.
Furthermore, Johnson doesn't "suck." I wouldn't call a 17-game winner, who finished 8th in the AL in strikeouts, someone who is done. Johnson pitched most of the year in pain, forcing him to change his delivery angle. Nobody here is claiming that he is a world-beater at his age, but he's still better and more efficient than a large percentage of his younger counterparts, and he'll thrive in the NL again.
Then again, a logical argument from my end probably is unnecessary, as it will probably be ignored.
