Who is this “Pedro” we keep hearing about?

I’ve heard of him, I think he was some kind of pitcher back in the day.

Can Pedro bat 2nd?

Good idea starting him in SF. That is basically like another minor league tune up game.

Just send down Pelfrey when he comes back, and one more ite off the “fix the roster” checklist.

hopefully…..

unfortunate that he needed to take that detour to the DR otherwise he would be starting against SF and SD, both of which have AAA offenses…

I like that they are starting Pedro the day after Vargas rather than in place of Vargas. This gives them another look at him and Pelfrey before deciding what to do with them.

I sure hope they dont make Pelfrey the long man in the Mets pen… he would do much better starting in AAA, imo.

Over/under on how many games til he is hurt yet again?

Anyone think they are rushing him back? Why not take a couple of minor league starts to get stretched out? In his last start, his arm was fine, but he developed a hamstring injury — an injury that develops if you’re not fully stretched and flexible. Why do I feel like the Mets are pushing him back before he’s fully ready?

Pedro isn’t going to pitch in the minors, he is a diva as we all know.

SheaVendor May 28, 2008 at 10:50 am

Did you read the post? He’s pitching in PSL tonight.

Oops, my bad. I thought it was a simulated game.
