Pedro - Giff - 11-17-2009
Says he wants to pitch the entire season next year. He went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA, 1.25 WHIP this season in 9 starts. Anyone interested?
Pedro - Butcher - 11-17-2009
I'm not sure he has enough left in the tank to do that over the course of an entire season.

If you watch his innings I am sure he could. He would be great as a number 5 starter. Like I said though, we would have to watch his innings or pitches...maybe limit him to 90 pitches for the first two or three months...with Pedro that could be 6 innings.

Might as well bring Harden back. I'm thinking Pedro's asking price will be too high -- especially for the level of risk that comes with him.
I love Pedro, but I don't know if it's a good move for us.

it has disaster written all over it.

If he's only gonna go 5 ot 6 innings might as well bring Harden back.

Mightn't it be in Pedro's interest to be looking to transition to a closer role at this stage of his career?
Pedro - rok - 11-17-2009
We have other needs to fill where Hendry can better piss away $5-8 mil, which would inevitably happen.
Pedro - ruby23 - 11-17-2009
No.

Pedro - funkster - 11-18-2009
I'd rather have Harden.

I'm really kind of tired of Harden's act. Not saying that Pedro is the answer, but I don't think bringing back Harden and his 5 innings per start and 2 DL stints is that appealing either.
Pedro - Runnys - 11-19-2009
I do understand though what you guys are saying that if we want Pedro we might as well keep Harden. After thinking about it, I say we forget about both of them.
Pedro - johnr42 - 11-19-2009
I'd much rather give Justin Duchscherer a try.

<!--QuoteBegin-"Jayson Stark"+-->QUOTE ("Jayson Stark")<!--QuoteEBegin-->• Pedro Martinez may be itching to come back and pitch a full season. But two clubs we surveyed said he's better off doing exactly what he did in 2009 -- pitch a half season, with as much downtime between starts as possible. "At this point," said an official of one club, "he's sexy in name only."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
