Clemens contract is absurd

The amount of money Roger Clemens is making is absolutely ridiculous.

While The Rocket is one of the best pitchers of all time and most likely will have a big impact on the New York Yankees, there comes a time when enough is enough.

I am talking about 28 million for one year. That comes out to over $150,000 per day and about $6,000 an hour.

And all of this for pitching every fifth day.

George Steinbrenner does not often hold back in spending money. But he has outdone himself this time. Nobody deserves this kind of money.

This much money is unheard of. Even Alex Rodriguez, an every day player, does not make this much per year.

Rodriguez signed a contract unheard of seven years ago, worth $250 million over 10 years. But that only comes out to $25,000 per year.

Keep in mind Rodriguez plays about 140 games a year while Clemens would start about 30 games in a year.

Oh, and Clemens is not pitching the whole year. He is due back in the beginning on June. He will make 18 million this season.

Not bad for a guy who has not pitched since last September.

Clemens will also have the freedom to not always travel with the team.

I guess when you are as good as Clemens you get your way.

The only thing is that Clemens is 45 years old. My guess is that he will not be worth as much money as he will make.

Enough is enough.
