How Bout Roger Clemens?

[WinstonSmith]

At his age, the power he still has, the pinpoint control he has developed, the devastating splitter.....

The guy may be the best pitcher I've had the pleasure to watch -- over the course of his illustrious career.

What a smart move by him in coming to the NL.

New hitters with which to baffle.

[ElviswasaBluesFan]

Yep, I wish I would have been able to get down to Busch and see him pitch last night. Guys like him don't come along very often.

Who would you say is comparable? Steve Carlton, maybe?

[WinstonSmith]

I suppose.

When you consider the longevity and dominance.

[Jack Sparrow]

Johnson
Schilling
Griffey (first year of reds)
I'll go see Zito/Mulder/Hudson
I'd see ARod if he came here

I went to see Willis (I know he doesnt compare to all time greats or future greats) but I knew he was going to be RoY and I wanted to see his style.
