Clemens in arb
So Rajah Clemens wants $22m. That's ridiculous. You can ask for your uniform number for arbitration now?
To be fair, Clemens did get only $5m for 2004, of which $3.5m was deferred. And $27m total for 2 seasons including one Cy season is actually around the market rate (Randy Johnson got $13.5m for last season). Pity the market doesn't work by compensating for past performance...
