"One of the hallmarks of the program that Eric and I want to be known for is the best players will play," said Tannenbaum. "Actions speak louder than words and, over the last few years, that's been true. Like Eric said last week, the best players will play."
It's really hard for a lot of people to believe that the extensive action Clemens saw this year was based on letting the better player play.
