<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Pedro Watch: If you're hanging by the TV and waiting for that imminent return of Pedro Martinez, it might be safe to make other plans. The latest word on the Pedro front is that he's still looking for what one executive describes as "a Brad Penny contract" (a prorated $5 million, plus lots of incentives). And he's interested only in being a starting pitcher. An official of one team reports that in his workout last week, Martinez was "throwing 85 [mph] -- and it's soft." Asked what he could read into that, the official replied, "Let's say it's not what I had in mind to pay $5 million for."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No thanks.

I just don't get this at all still. There's a few guys on the farm that likely give us a better chance to win than Pedro right now. It's a waste of money and we need to be careful with every cent right now.
