Will Roger Clemens come back this year?

The latest news says he is not sure himself if he wants to come back.  Sounds like he is not playing this year until perhaps something motivates him such as the Astros pushing for the playoffs ...

Hopefully none. Realistically, however, he may win 5 or 6. We can count on Roger to keep up the drama (He is the drama king of baseball) and mystery as to whether or not he will "retire" after this season. Stay tuned. Roger will have more and more and more to say about this in the future. He will mumble and stumble, and we will be left to figure out just what it was that he said.\n\nHope you agree.

I'm a HUGE Astros fan. Well, first, we're not in a hole. We're doing about twice as good as we were last time this year. I think that Roger Clemens would help, but I don't think that we NEED him. Our new pitchers are great. Buchholz, Rodriguez, and Nieve are all great. I think that Clemens would be of a lot of help once we get to playoffs or the series. He would bring experience to a team of rookie pitchers (other than Oswalt and Pettite). I personally just want Brandon Backe back! I miss him! He's sexy!! And a great pitcher, too, of course! \n\nBy the way, Brad Ausmus is smokin' hot!!! (To bad he's married with kids, right? Oh well, a girl can dream ...)

IF EVERYBODY STAYS HEALTHY, IF ROGER COMES BACK, AND IF OUR HITTING IS GOOD...no

They have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs as a WC team. The WS is going to be a tough place for them to get to, but it is possible. Remember the bad starts that they've had the last two years? They came back from those to reach the NLCS in '04 and then the WS in '05.\n\nThey have Clemens now, and will soon get Brandon Backe back into the rotation. Oswalt is pitching good, but getting little run support. Wandy Rodriguez has been amazing, and if he stays healthy this could be his break-out year. If Pettitte and the bullpen can find the groove they were in last year, look for the Astros in October.\n\nLike last year, this team is all about the pitching. The batting, although not as good as in '04, is doing much better than in '05. If Chris Burke stays hot, he might be the spark the lineup needs to catch fire. With Berkman and Ensberg healthy now, we might see more of that 19-9 type playing that they showed at the beginning of the season.

Jim Thome is a nice bet.  He will have MUCH better stats than last years.\n\nVernon Wells is the other.  With Glaus and Overbay hitting behind him, he would continue to do well.\n\nBrad Penny would have a breakout season too.  He always has good stuffs, and NL west is weak.

I agree completely. It's easier for a pitcher to rack up "wins" when his teammates score seven runs per game for him. Clemens' performance last year was fabulous. He was on my fantasy team last year. I knew I could count on him for good ERA and WHIP numbers, but often called the Astros dirty names for not scoring for him and getting him (and me) wins. :(

Where we dont know for sure I would say its safe to assume he will return. My guess by eppy 3.

Yes. He should. He'll be back and Y!Answers has alot of fundemental problems to address.

If Roger Clemens plays again in 2006, I see him going back to the Houston Astros because of his son Koby who plays in the Astros minor league system for the Tri-City Valley Cats.

No-one has extended an invitation.\n\nI wouldn't be surprised to see offers from the Nationals or Tampa Bay.  Both have extended non-roster invitations to a few players in the past few seasons (Nationals: Sosa) and Tampa Bay (Fred Mcgriff).\n\nI don't forsee him playing again next year though, because no teams are really aching for a DH/part time 1B with a steriod cloud.

No.  He's good, but I don't think that he's back.  I don't see him doing it again.

Absolutely they will.\n\nOh, wait, you mean this year?  No.

No, I don't think he will.\n\nHowever, I believe he shall reach one more Grand Slam final, probably at the United States Open.\n\nRoger Federer and Andy Roddick shall never again win a major title. That is, at least, my prediction. However, I am very unsure.\n\nI believe the following years shall be dominated by a comeback by Juan Carlos Ferrero and James Blake, Guillermo Coria, Rafael Nadal, Marcos Baghdatis, Andy Murray, and Francisco Verdasco.\n\nAlso, Nikolay Davydenko and David Nalbandian will continue to linger barely inside the TOP 10.

I think he will be with Columbus next year.  I wish he would be back next year.  I am not 100% but I think Columbus could use him
