Roger Clemens has announced that he has
agreed to sign with the Yankees, according to the AP.
"It's time to go to work," Clemens said.
"I've got a lot of work to do, to get back up here."
This is obviously huge news, and he'll help shore up a Yankees rotation that has been stricken with injuries.

Our hero is back!
Even if he was a liar about his retirement, he will get wins over last season.
I think that our hero is business-man in MLB.

Maybe "Big issue" is "Released RHP Alay Soler.( in New York Mets)"!
The Mets have released Alay Soler, according to the New York Daily News. He had posted an 8.22 ERA this spring.
He comes from Cuba and He was a leading pitcher in Cuba amateur team.
New York Mets have expected that he come on "big start pitcher" in their pitcher rotation, but
His career was "2/3(w/l), 6.00(era) " in major league.
It explains that New York Mets decide their start pitcher rotation in some measure.
But You can konw that Mets`fifth start pitcher is .........., yet!

The Rockies released veteran Javy Lopez on Monday, according to MLB.com.
Lopez hit .375 in six spring games but failed to throw out a single
baserunner in eight attempts. Lopez still feels he can be an everyday catcher
somewhere."I don't think I'll go anywhere else as a backup. The way I feel, I can
easily be an everyday catcher," he said. "If I'm not an everyday catcher, I'd
rather not play this year or retire."With Lopez out of the picture, the Rockies' catching duties will be handled
by Chris Iannetta and Yorvit Torrealba.
Well, Lopez is veteran Catcher and good hitter, but I can get it that the Rockies want to have a batting order with a bright prospect like Chris Iannetta(Catcher).
If a bright prospect of the Rockies don`t have a good activity, maybe they will languish for batting(hitting) power of Lopez.
