Surprise guest at Astros Mini-camp
Roger Clemens showed up at mini-camp today, according to the Yahoo! Sports article. (ESPN has pretty much the same AP story.) The story briefly went over his throwing to the young hitters and all, including how most "of the batters whiffed at least once, even after Clemens would call out what kind of pitch he was throwing."
But it also had a little bit about Brandon Backe throwing today. From the article:
Brandon Backe, expected to start for the Astros this season, pitched when Clemens was finished. He threw about 40 pitches, then Clemens gave him advice off the mound on the first-base side.Not good news, not bad news. I think it'll be good for Backe to get this early work in, so he can really see where his arm is at before going to camp. Plus, any knowledge Clemens can give him can only help (unless it is on how to use sterile needles.)
Any thoughts on this?

Sure can't hurt...
As a writer...
There are so many better ways to express the fact that Clemens was watching Backe from the right side of the infield.
