Roger's Boy Coming to TN

From an Astros press release today...

"The Houston Astros announced today that they have agreed to terms with infielder Koby Clemens, the club's eighth-round selection and 254th pick overall in the 2005 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft and the son of ace Roger Clemens. Koby Clemens will begin his professional career with the Greeneville Astros, the organization's Rookie League affiliate in Greeneville, Tenn., where he is expected to play third base.

Clemens batted .523 (56x107) with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, a triple and 55 RBI for Memorial (TX) High School this year. He posted a .953 slugging percentage and .617 on-base percentage, scoring 39 runs and stealing five bases. On the mound, he finished 8-3 with a 3.17 ERA and 86 strikeouts, holding opposing batters to a .203 average. He tossed three no-hitters and four complete games, and Clemens was named the Most Valuable Player for District 18-5A. "

Please be kind to Rogers' boy. He's a good kid.
