Since this is an expected transition year...
I'd have no problem, if they are deemed ready (I don't think Carpenter is), giving guys a shot in MLB at the expense of a Vet or two who will not be a part of our future...
I'm looking at you Grossman and Schoop (I know he's been hitting some the last week or two... but he's still not a part of our future IMO)...
Give Clemens a chance just to see if on the off chance he can be part of our future.
I know Schoop is only 30 but... Just call me the Hatchet Man. And let him go....
