Pedro! Pedro!

One of the funniest lines I've ever heard. I just listened to the Pedro Martinez press conference where he announces he's coming to the Mets. One of the writers asks him, "At the end of last season, a lot of questions surfaced about your shoulder. Why do you think that is?" Without missing a beat, he responds, "Because of the crap you guys have been spreading." Gotta love his bluntness. Gotta love it.

He talked about his special way of working out. He says it's very unique. Fair enough. My question is this. Can this workout routine add a few mph back to your fastball which has been dropping in velocity? Bottom line: If he can give us 3 effective years, I'll say it's a great move, 2 years, a good move, 1 year, same old same old story.

Now let's go get a big bat and an arm for the bullpen!!!
