Astros owner Jim Crane told the FOX affiliate in Houston late last week that he would be ?open? to discussing a contract with Roger Clemens if the veteran right-hander proved capable of getting outs.
Which is why it should come as no surprise that the Astros were watching closely as Clemens tossed 3 1/3 scoreless innings Saturday night for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League.
Here is Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, discussing the?brief?but effective outing Sunday in a chat with Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle:
?He looked good,? said Luhnow. ?He certainly can compete at that independent ball level. We?ll see how he feels after doing that yesterday, but he certainly is impressive given the fact that he hasn?t pitched in so many years and with his age.?I don?t know what he intends to do. I think a lot of that will have to do with how he feels after (Saturday). Recovery time is probably a little different for somebody who hasn?t pitched in so long.?
Clemens hasn?t appeared in a major league game since the 2007 season. He told reporters after his start Saturday in southeast Texas that he will ice up for a few days before deciding what he?d like to do next.
