Omar Minaya told reporters yesterday that Pedro Martinez is set to throw a 70-pitch simulated game in Port St. Lucie on Monday, after which he is likely to begin his rehab assignment.

…so, simulated game, two or three rehab starts, and i’m guessing we see him with the Mets again during the middle of June…but, one step at a time…

Yes, and then he’ll get probably 2 to 4 starts before going on the DL again. At least we signed him as an FA. He’s only costing money, not talent. But it would be nice if the front office would stop banking their hopes on guys like this.

Youth! Youth! Youth! A couple of veterans to guide the young’uns, but the 35+ y/o’s should not be carrying the team, at least not unless they’re a) still productive and b) healthy.

I don’t think we can put a timetable when it comes to Pedro. 4 – 6 turned to 8 – 12.
