News: Pedro looks good in Sim-Game

by Matthew Cerrone on March 11th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Facing Carlos Beltran and three minor leaguers, including Mike Carp, Pedro Martinez successfully tossed a 59–pitch simulated game earlier today at Tradition Field.

Beltran was 1–for-5 against Martinez.

…i would have enjoyed watching pedro pitch to beltran…that’s unique…even if it is just a simulated game

For more on Martinez’s afternoon, during which he had an 87–mph fastball and a 67–mph change-up, check out the Journal News, Daily News, New York Post and the Star-Ledger.

As expected, Martinez is still on pace to start Sunday in St. Lucie against the Detroit Tigers.
