2001 Fleer Red Sox 100th Pt. 10: Roger Clemens

NAME: Roger Clemens

POSITION: Starting Pitcher

WHY IS HE HERE?:  Tied for the team all-time team record in wins (192) and the all-time team leader in strikeouts (2,590).  He won three Cy Young Awards with the Red Sox (1986, 1987, 1991) and the A.L. MVP in 1986.  Twice struck out 20 batters in a game.  

WOULD I PUT HIM IN IN 2001?:  Absolutely.

ANY BETTER CHOICES IN 2001?:  No.  Clemens is on the short list of best Red Sox pitchers of all time.

WOULD I PUT HIM IN NOW?:  Nothing has changed.

ANY BETTER CHOICES NOW?:  Again, no.  The only pitchers who have arguments as being better than Clemens are already in the set.
