Clemens Effect on the 2006 NL Central Race

by Jeff Matthews @ 7:44 am. Filed under 2007 Season

I’ve heard this a bunch.  Claims have been made that the only reason the Cardinals even made the playoffs, and subsequently won the World Series, was because Roger Clemens didn’t pitch the whole season and cost the Astros a shot at the division.  I blow it off as shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Now John Beamer at the Hardball Times has provided a very detailed analysis on how Clemens late entrance into the mix didn’t really cost the Astros much at all.  Good stuff and it’s very vindicating.
