Clemens, 44, still mulling his options for 2007

KISSIMMEE, Fla (AP) -- If he comes back, the 44-year-old pitching great
said he'll choose between the hometown Astros, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

"Everybody knows where I stand. I don't care to play, but if that decision comes up again,
then it's a big decision on me," he said. "It has nothing to do with anybody else. It's a
decision on me to go out and perform."

The Rocket is probably the greatest baseball player ever...And he's the best pitcher by far...

2006 Statistics

Games - 19
Wins - 7
Losses - 6
BB - 29
K's - 102
ERA - 2.30

The baseball commish should be personally sitting in The Rockets living room begging him to be the lone good thing about baseball this upcoming year...Those stats are impressive alone, even more impressive when you consider how weak the run support was in Houston, mind boggling...

He will come back and I think he should come back also. He only has about one more good year left in him, but this will be his last year. He'll probably come in the middle of the season to the Yankees

He definately should come back. His achievements are historic. No modern pitcher will ever approach the numbers he has put up. And he is still effective. We would take him here in Minnesota in a second.

Lol....too bad he doesn't want to go to Minnesota.

I am a Yankees fan, but there is way too much going their way for him to skip to Boston.

time for him to retire. either play the whole year or wrap it up. he wants to have his cake and eat it too.

he's one of the all-time greats, but he's only padding his stats by playing half a year.
