Clemens in 04: 20 GS, 12-3, 133 IP, 100 H, 9 HR, 39 BB, 139 K, 2.71 ERA, 1.05 WHIP.
But... against CHC, his numbers were pretty average. He's been unhittable so far but he has to give up some runs at some point. I'll agree with you half way. He'll be average today.

There's no reason other than coicnidence that he was that much better at home. He got his fat contract, and in his mind is in Del Boca Vista right now. Not something I'd invest in.
