After a report suggested that the Royals had a scout present when Roger Clemens took the mound for the Sugar Land Skeeters on Saturday, general manager Dayton Moore denied any interest in the 50-year-old right-hander.

Kansas City senior pitching advisor Bill Fischer was on hand at Saturday night's game, but he was merely there as an old coach and friend of Clemens.

Moore pointed out that Fischer was Clemens' pitching coach early in his Major League career and that the pitcher invited him to come down and be part of his return.

"Fish called me last night to say thanks for allowing him to go down there and what a great time it was," Moore said. "I don't even know how Roger threw, I didn't even ask him about that."
