Clemens signs with Astros
$5 million. The Astros are clearly the favorite in the Central, and maybe in the NL altogether. Oswalt, Clemens, Pettitte, Miller, Redding is a stacked rotation. The only question is whether their aging offense (Bagwell, Kent, Biggio) suddenly drops.
I'll make a very early prediction:
NLCS - Astros vs. Phillies
ALCS - RedSox vs. Yanks
Think of the possibilities: Billy Wagner against the 'Stros; Clemens & Pettitte against the Yanks; Schilling against the Phils.
