Pedro's Comeback
There is so much hype over Roger Clemens returning to the Yankees, that we have all but forgotten Pedro Martinez. Pedro made several simulated starts over the past month and had his second rehab start for for the Mets A Gulf Coast team. (Note to Omar-why not have him pitch a game for the Coney Island Cyclones so NY Fans can go out and show their love and support?) Pedro retired the first nine batters he faced yesterday against the Dodgers’ Gulf Coast League team. In the 4th inning, he threw 29 pitches and allowed a three-run homer. After the 60 pitch outing, Pedro went to the bullpen and threw 20 pitches, all fastballs. He was seen in the 84- to 85-mile-an-hour range and had one at 88. This is all good. The real question is how fast has the arm come back and can he get into a 5 day rotation. The Mets need a shot in the arm and Pedro maybe it.Pedro's presence in the dugout when he returns by early September will be a boost for the team. The Mets need some pitching help right now (as well as a catcher!), but unfortunately then need middle relief more than starting pitching. Posted by Steve in New York.
