Pedro Offers You His Protection
Surviving Grady —
Someone e-mailed me about a SOSH thread that said that it was 10 years ago yesterday -- March 6, 1998 -- that li'l Petey made his first-ever start in a Boston uniform. Yeah, it was a grapefruit game. But still... whether we knew it or not, it was the harbinger of great, great things to come. Interestingly, someone in the thread referenced a post I wrote when Pedro left us for the Mets. And on the occasion of this tenth anniversary of sorts, I'm re-running it here: * * * * * * * * * * I miss him already. Miss the swagger. The head pointing. The drama queen antics.

theropolitans.com 3/7/2008 — 19-year-old prospect Fernando Martinez tries to out run the rain and onto the Mets 25-man roster. It's a long shot at best. It's still weird to be sitting on my couch writing about this kid, who is 3 months my junior, while he tries to make the major league squad.
