Roger Clemens To The Red Sox?

The Boston Herald is reporting that the Red Sox are putting together an impressive recruiting package to lure Roger Clemens back to Fenway Park to finish off his career.

Included in the Red Sox pitch is a DVD that shows scores of Red Sox fans begging the Rocket to return to Boston.

While Roger Clemens has been reported to be flattered by the Red Sox interest, it's widely believed within baseball circles that chances are virtually nil that Roger would return to Fenway.

Despite not being eligible to play for the Astros until May 1st, Roger's number one choice still appears to be to suit up one more time for Houston. After all, Houston is his home, and the Astros gave him an opportunity to play in 2004 on a part time basis while spending lots of time with his family.

Also, Roger has a 10 year services contract with the Astros to act as an advisor/coach once he retires.

Plus, his oldest son, Koby, is in the Astros minor league system. Surely dad can be of great help to his son in the coming years as Koby strives to make it to the big leagues.

It's believed by most baseball executives that the Yankees are the only other team that Roger would consider playing for in 2006.
