For all the talk of the Braves' failed offseason, they've added three quality starting pitchers. Even if Lowe wasn't their first choice, he probably should've been. Braves Sign Derek Lowe

Pedro would rather retire than play for a non-contending team. However, I think Pedro would take a John Smoltz like deal with the Mets. It's almost certain that the team will need a fill-in pitcher for close to 10 games. I believe Pedro would want to be that fill in pitcher with the Mets because he knows they're close to winning it all, he has a great comraderie with the team, and at his stage in his career he probably wants to finish his career with the Mets. “…i believe pedro can find more than a minor-league contract…and so, if the Mets end up with either Derek Lowe, Randy Wolf or Oliver Perez, i just don’t see how pedro fits in”

Do that and I'm not so sure they wouldn't be the big winter winner in New York - and for a fair amount less money to boot!
