Have to like the fact that even though he doesn't possess lights out stuff he's not afraid to challenge hitters and he seems to spot his pitches and mixes the up well to keep hitters off balance.

That is y i like bout this pitcher, i wouldnt mind 2 c this kid pitch in the 4th spot.

Lets c how he does 2mmorw

Clipp got too emotional on the mound today. When he wasnt getting the call he would show it through his body language. Umps hate that. If he can calm down a little he will be ok. I still want to see him go into the 7th inning before i say he will be a huge part of our future.

I didn't like the kid at first (I was screaming about how he still has acne), but with the way he's pitched of late, even with his control issues, I see him being a solid back of the rotation guy for the Yanks this season.

I definately dont see him as a 2-3 starter, but he can be that solid Aaron Small type guy that will get this team 10-15 wins this year (barring another injury). And, hopefully he'll be doing this for a few more seasons, unlike Small's one season burst.

Other than that, I'm impressed with what hes done thusfar.
