Sosa and Palmeiro

[jpenrod]

Have these guys officially retired?

...also Clemens. I need to know whether to dump him from one of my fantasy teams.

I'm guessing all three are waiting to see if someone offers them big bucks for a mid or late season push. My gut feeling is that Clemens will come back with either the Red Sox, Rangers, or maybe the Astros (if they are in first place or the wild card hunt)...and that Palmeiro and Sosa will never play again.

Clemens comes back with New York I believe he wants to go into the hall of fame without a Boston hat and the only other chance is New York and he would need another year or 2 with them

When has he ever said he doesn't want to go to the HOF with a Boston hat?

IF Clemens pitches again, it'll most likely be only this year, and for part of the year, not another year or two.

I'd say Houston has the best shot of getting him back, because of his sweet deal there. I'd say Boston is #2, since he could finish where he started and get the Red Sox all time win record. I really can't see him in either Arlington or New York. He's never been a Ranger, and he has nothing to prove in NY.

None of these guys have officially done anything. Palmeiro and Sosa would love to get back in the game, but probably will never get back.

Do these players have to make an official announcement or do something to be officially retired or can it pretty much be forced on them by no one offering them a contract? I am just unclear about the whole thing. I guess this would apply to Henderson as well, because I am not sure he has ever officially retired.

not that you care...but you are really starting to grate on my nerves. Do you make an effort to piss off Red Sox fans or does it come naturally. You have not posted one thing yet that makes me think you know what the heck you are talking about.

Boxer's right, Rickey. This isn't a smack site. There's no need to reference the Red Sox unless the post actually concerns them.

Nothing to do with the article, but isn't he tied with Cy Young with 192 for th e franchise lead? (I always thought he was, anyway.) If that's the case, wouldn't it be for the sole lead?

You are correct...he is tied for the all time lead, with 192.

Interestly enough, their losses are very close, too...Clemens has 111, Young 112.

Where did you draft him? Teams aren't able to sign him until May 1. He won't decide until then.

He may have kept him in a keeper league. I know in my keeper league the guy who had him kept him. Just goes to show is value as his age.

Ugh. Do you know anything about any team BESIDES the Yankees?
