Pedro Martinez had been trying out for the Phillies for it seems like months, and all those try outs have put Pedro on the disabled list. A day after signing with the Phillies, Pedro is right where he has been the last several years..injured.
However, the Phillies really only need him to be ready close to postseason, but if that lead slips in NL East they might need him sooner. The Phillies would be wise to acquire another arm as Old man Martinez ain't got much left in the tank.
Not including the playoffs I say his over under for starts is 5, might seem low, but this guy is a china doll and could break at any moment. Sadly, an injured Pedro is still an upgrade for Philly's pitching staff, let's just see how much he helps. I think he just made the easiest million dollars of his life.

Pedro is washed up. 5 seems like a good over/under.
ReplyDeleteOld Man River, They need more if they want to do anything
ReplyDeleteYeah, their pitching is pretty thin. Hamels hasn't been so great this year, and wife beater Myers is hurt. I can't really blame them for rolling the dice with Pedro.
