how much does the surgery pedro had effect his velocity?Im just wondering what other pitchers have had the same surgery and the outcome of it.

If he does that, better open up the checkbook cause Pedro will need to get PAID. Not necessarily Johann money or contract length, but right up there. That being said, I think Pedro should end his career as Met. He would even make a good pitching coach down the road someday.

before you criticize me you need to learn how to read…castro said that pedro had more life on his fastball than he did last year and then matt wrote…

Willie Randolph talked with reporters after the game about Martinez’s outing, and had the following to say regarding:…Ramon Castro’s comments that this is a different Pedro than before, as he has more life on his fastball…

“Well, wasn’t it a couple of days ago that guys were saying that he didn’t have anything on his fastball? Eh, I don’t get in to all of that stuff guys, come on. It just goes to show that when the game starts, when you’re in the game it’s a totally different mindset. you start bringing out radar guns for simulated games and you’re just wasting your time…To me, he just looked like Pedro getting ready for the season, and he looked great to me.”

…And all i was saying was that in the last few days the minor leaguers who faced el duque said that he had no life on his fastball…NOT PEDRO…and then i continued to say a comment about willie that you criticized me about and which is sometimes probably true anyway.

Pedro was fantastic yesterday. As long as he’s healthy and feeling good, I think Pedro’s gonna put up good numbers. I think in the first half of the season our starting pitching is going to carry us. If Johan doesn’t experience that NY transitional phase that so many go through, then with he and Pedro, Maine, Perez we’re going to get quality starts more times than not.

Offense still scares me. I get the feeling we’re going to struggle to get runs early consistently. With Reyes, Wright, and a healthy Beltran. that should be enough, but I think the Mets are going to have to play alot of small ball early until Alou comes back or we get help from a trade. I’m starting to feel good about the pitching, though, and as long as we have that then we’re going to be good.

Why would the Angels ask for that much when a player has no role on this year or next year’s team? It’s not like he’s 21 either.

Before you critize the comment you need to make sure. I was clearly Castro who made the comment.

i dont know ab for dear life…but i do agree with you…unless your getting an obvious upgrade for the bench and a guy that can fill in for lf or 1b then we should keep him…he was our best guy in the pen down the stretch last year and he could obviously spot start

I think they should hold on to Sosa for dear life as he can be a decent starter — probably better than Armas — and backups for the rotation remain a big weakness for this team. If El Duque can’t pitch with his new windup, then Pelfrey would probably be the #5, and who is there to be a backup behind him and the rest of the rotation? Sosa provides a strong safety net.
