The Cardinals and free agent Matt Clement have reportedly agreed to a major league deal.
The Pirates, Indians, Mariners, Diamondbacks, Blue Jays and Rockies were some other teams mentioned in connection with Clement, who will be ready to compete for a rotation spot after missing last season following shoulder surgery. |
That's all Rotoworld has right now.

I hope it is only a 1 year deal.

1 year with a club option.

Matt Clement is guaranteed $1.5 million under the terms of his deal with the Cardinals.
Clement will receive $1.25 million in 2008 and the chance to earn $5.25 million more in bonuses based on innings pitched. The Cardinals have an $8.75 million option for 2009 with a $250,000 buyout. The option would increase to $9 million and the buyout $500,000 if Clement reaches 160 innings this season; $9.5 million and $1 million for 180 innings; $10 million and $1.5 million for 200 innings and $11 million and $2 million if Clement finishes in the top five in 2008 Cy Young Award balloting.

Smart contract for him to sign, decent for the Cards.

Smart guy. If anyone can help him get on track its Duncan.

Clement will be done by May if he is lucky... he'll probably get hurt in Spring Training.

I remember when he was awesome in the first part of 05 with the Sox. Then it went all downhill from there. He probably still has that nice breaking ball though and could have good success in the NL. Good luck to him with the cards.

I think he will do better in the NL.

the only thing i will always remember Clement for was when he was cub everytime he started Renteria would sit and he would sit himself saying he couldnt see the ball out of his hand...and i was a huge Renteria fan so hopefully he has some of that left
