I wasn't even aware that Clemens was still connected with the Astros, but apparently he was until today...
"Roger Clemens signed a contract with the Astros in 2004 that locked him into a 10-year personal services deal with the team upon his retirement. Now, however, the Astros don't want the disgraced ace around the club. "I think everybody is just on hold until they see where he is with the government," Astros owner Drayton McLane told the New York Daily News on Thursday. "He doesn't get involved in any way in our spring training or when he goes to where [his son] Koby is on one of our minor league teams. He doesn't get involved in the activities of the team. He's strictly a parent and a spectator (WEEI)."
This is probably the best thing for the Astros and Clemens' son, because right now it is just better not to have to deal the the sinking ship that is Clemens life. I also think this could be a sign that Clemens is about to go down hard. His trial is coming up, and from everything I have been reading there is a good chance that he is going to jail (more so then Bonds). Either way, until he (and Bonds) have their names cleared of these charges everyone is better off with them not around MLB fields.
