Martinez vs. Clemens

David Lennon at On The Mets Beat, writes about Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens and which will have the greater impact for their team:


Now that Pedro Martinez has completed his first bullpen session without a hitch -- check out the exclusive report by my colleague Jim Baumbach -- here's an interesting question: Who will win more games this season, Martinez or Roger Clemens? Granted, Martinez is not expected back until August, which only gives him 10 or so starts this season. But the 44-year-old Clemens is a limping train wreck of his former self, trying to rebound from a "fatigued groin," whatever the heck that is. I might pick Martinez at this point. Clemens is definitely headed for a few DL stints even when (if?) he finally makes it to the majors.
