... I thought Garcia was going to get pink slipped last week altogether. Apparently the organization truly believes in Garcia and thinks he can get back to form. My difficulty with the logic is, they basically factored Freddy's possible $8.5 million into payroll assuming he would reach all of his incentives. He is not reaching all those now - no way. I don't know the details of his original contract, but it was in my opinion that the team would cut him and offer Pedro Martinez that same deal. Maybe they already did offer Martinez a similar deal and he turned it down so ...

How Bad was the Redding Signing?

... than to hate him. Sure he's no Pedro , he's not really good, he's never had a plus pitch, or pitched in the postseason, but he's a Met....sort of. So let's bottom line this thing: The Mets are not winning a championship trotting Tim Redding out there every 5th day. We have a pretty big sample size out of him in 7 big league seasons, and the vast majority of his career, including the second half of 2008, has been marginal to awful (and I'm being kind), but he could help...at least Omar thinks so. My hope? That he loses the 5th starter spot, but still helps the team...Omar ...

GM for a Day: Pittsburgh Pirates

... as he’s an innings eater and would help the Bucs bullpen out a lot. But Garland’s WHIP and hits allowed has gotten a bit out of control posting a WHIP of 1.51 last season and hits of 247, 219, 237 the past three years. Then I thought about Pedro Martinez. He would bring an enormous amount of knowledge to a very young rotation. But Martinez’s age has caught up to him and he’s only good for about five innings a night now and this would be extremely taxing for the bullpen and all of this at what most likely would be at a very high price tag. ...

... back at his job by spring training. Zimmer has always had a reputation for being a tough guy, so this should come as no surprise.  As a player, he suffered some horrific beanings due to his propensity for standing right on top of the plate.  However, he repeatedly came back from those injuries.  Zimmer was the Dodger shortstop directly before Maury Wills came aboard and ran away with the job.  And who could forget Zim's epic and ill-fated battle with Pedro Martinez in the 2003 ALCS? Zimmer's attitude can best be summed up by what he ...

Closing The Gaps: Starting Pitcher

... but he's been just as effective as those two. As far as his performance goes, Looper's ERA improved drastically in his 2nd year as a starter, going from 4.94 to 4.16. His K rate increased slightly, and his BB rate dropped slightly, but nothing particularly notable. That small improvement in his peripherals is reflected in his tRA dropping from 5.54 to 5.18. All said and done, Looper isn't a very good pitcher, but I think his lesser demands work in his favor. Pedro Martinez Wouldn't it be appropriate if the Dodgers finally got him back when he ...

Over the weekend, the SB Nation family held a pledge drive of sorts in honor of Sean Forman's birthday and I feel its only right we do the same here.  If you don't know who Sean Forman is, you should. If you've ever used Baseball-Reference to look up Pedro Martinez's WHIP in '99 (.923), where Mickey Mantle played his final game (Fenway) or which player was picked first in the 1983 draft (Tim Belcher), Forman was responsible for quenching your thirst for baseball knowledge.  Running ...

... ) -- Pedro Martinez ( top finish: 2nd place, 1999 ) The point of this exercise isn't to denigrate a list of talented players. It's to point out just how difficult winning a MVP award truly can be. Face it: three of the top four sluggers of the last 20 years in Red Sox baseball fell short of winning the award, leaving Mo Vaughn (1995) alone on the list of winners during that time span. For those of you wondering where Kevin Youkilis will finish in the voting, your guess is as good as mine. As ...

Ryan Church is still not back. Luis Castillo is still not back. And then there's Pedro Martinez, and he alone just might hold the key to the rest of the Mets season. Pedro fought his way back last year, fought his way back in Spring Training, injured himself in his first start of the year, fought his way back ...

Jackson never had to go through that so his career numbers are preserved from his prime. That is a luxury that 99% of baseball players don't have. Jackson was great. There is no question about that. It's a shame that we don't have a full career to compare to the other greats to see just how great he was. 32) Pedro Martinez I mentioned above that Lefty Grove has the highest ERA+ of all players in MLB ...
