Pedro Martinez, on the Mets' radar?


Pedro? Really?

I'm not sure what Omar is thinking about right now, but it shouldn't be Pedro. Does he really think Pedro Martinez, at age 38, is a good idea at this point in time? Why go through his desperate measure when there are still options out there: Sheets, Bedard, even Garland and Doug Davis.

Pedro hasn't been stellar in a while, let alone satisfactory, and probably shouldn't be entertained with the idea of him landing a spot on our roster. Sure, if the Nationals or the Royals needs a guy for their rotation, sign Pedro for a year. How could he fit into the Mets once again when we know he has no more gas left?

Sure, during the playoffs his change-up was very good at times. But how about the other times when it was crushed? Pedro posted a 3.63 ERA in 44.2 IP with the Phillies this past year, while striking out 37.

All I know is that it would be a horrible idea for Omar to resign Pedro. If they wouldn't resign him in 09... why would they decide to in 2010? With other viable options and decent pitchers still lurking the market, why settle with Pedro Martinez?

I'm just really confused.
