Mattingly's Agent Clarifies Confusion.

Don Mattingly's agent called a press conference today and, on the condition of anonymity, spoke about his client's future plans.

He insisted that Mattingly doesn't want the Yankee's managerial job even though he insists that he never said that he didn't want it.

And while Mattingly would naturally be uncomfortable snatching Joe Torre's job -  he also insisted that the reports that Mattingly would be uncomfortable are completely false.

He concluded the session with a shout-out to Hall of Fame voters and touted Donnie Baseball's HOF credentials. It was totally weird and confusing.

In an unrelated story ARod told reporters that he learned a lot playing with future Hall of Famer Roger Clemens.

Rodriguez was particularly impressed with Clemens' ability to demand sickening and ridiculous amounts of money from the Yankees despite the fact that he is already filthy rich.

ARod claimed to be "awestruck" and hinted that if he hadn't already sold his soul to Scott Boras he would certainly have considered approaching Clemens' team for some career advice and possible representation.
