Photo (left to right) of Brian McNamee, Charles Scheeler, Roger Clemens by AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais After a morning of denials and denouncements at a hearing in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform one thing is clear, Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens deserve each other.

In recent years, the Yankees have always been a team some home-grown talent. A look at the current roster can confirm that - Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams were all brought up through the organization's minor league system. But one has to wonder, is that the end of it? Will there be more in the coming years? Doesn't look like it. The Times sees a team with a shallow talent pool......
