Matthew Cerrone Starting Pitcher: Pedro is on the Back Burner By Matthew Cerrone - Jan 13, 2009 10:04 am Yesterday, during a conference call with reporters, Omar Minaya suggested the Mets will only look to sign free-agent Pedro Martinez if he is unable to acquire free-agent RHP Derek Lowe or Oliver Perez, adding: “Pedro’s one of the guys that is still under consideration – but right now, the way it is, we’re dealing with some other guys… Is he an option? He ’s in the pool - but that’s where he falls right now. We’re in a position that, with the guys that are out there, the guys we are looking at, if we add one of those guys on the list, we feel real good going into the year.” …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…i know omar has a great respect, appreciation and loyalty to pedro, but with Tim Redding and Jon Niese in the mix, there is no reason to sign pedro to a guaranteed deal… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 感覺雖然是場面話,但是怎麼可能有人敢對Pedro Martinez嗤之以鼻, 他可是Pedro Martinez耶(史上最強的右投手之一)..而且任何一個有腦的GM 都不會對任何一個球員展現出任何的不尊重,至少不應該說出來吧... …here’s the thing, if the Mets lose out on lowe and perez, they HAVE TO consider Ben Sheets…they have to…i know he has a history of injury, and there are league-wide concerns about his shoulder and elbow, but, if he’s looking at a one– or two-year deal, he has GOT TO BE an option…the guy can be an ace when healthy… In 31 starts for the Brewers last season, Sheets was 13–9 with a 3.09 ERA in 198 innings pitched, during which opponents hit .241 and struck out 158 times. …the buzz in baseball continues to link sheets and the Rangers, and maybe the Brewers, though no offers are on the table… B.Sheets 去年丟了198 inning 先發了31場沒問題的,我還印象中有一場對我們, 他速球只有86~88 Mile,結果靠變化球就賞了我們五顆蛋,然後才因傷退場.. 我相信只要好好的控制球數,B.Sheets的風險其實沒想像中的大. --
