PVBL: Hartford Whalers
Clemens to Face Former Mates in McCoy

July 14, 1999

Hartford (AP)- Roger Clemens has returned to the EL's McCoy Division in another surprising trade this week on the heels of a flurry of All-Star Break transactions. After trading away Big Mac for the right to Bobby Witt's services, Hartford went out and landed another successful PVBL starter in Clemens. Here's the deal:

RHP Roger Clemens Career: 35-23 3.08
Season: 5-7 3.77

*For*

RHP Will Cunnane Career: 5-9 4.28
Season: 2-1 4.07
#1 FA Pick (From Binghamton)
#2 FA Pick (From Binghamton)

Clemens is 33 yrs old, Cunnane is 21 yrs old. Cunnane finished in the Top 5 in the EL last season, his rookie year, with 22 saves. He looks to be a promising future starter. Clemens, meanwhile, is looking for someplace to finish his career.
