Pedro: I'm ready if Mets want me

In Pedro Martinez 's ideal world, he will be wearing a Mets uniform this season and pitching at "the new Shea." "If they want a fifth starter, I've been there," Martinez said yesterday.

[ny fan]

Wilpon and Minaya, just make an offer. We need pitching.

[charleyjet]

27 wins in 5 years as a Met. Is Pedro getting younger? I would pass, thanks.

[Boob Job]

Adios Pedro.

[Will]

Mets should pass because he'll only get injured. Amazing career from a little guy competing against many juice heads. Next stop HOF, not Met uniform.

[Scott G]

He'd be their #2 starter by june,sign him Omar!

[SKIPPER811]

sign him already!!!! i would take pedro standing on 1 leg pitching before the other bums we have signed this off season

[Charlutz]

I would sign him. He's healthy and pitching well. Just his attitude alone and the way he brings a clubhouse to life is a great reason, they should talk to him about middle relief now that they released Sanchez.

[Chris Williamson]

Sign Pedro! Dump Livan and Freddy Garcia.

[GMAB]

Yeah, he'd be a great bet to help this team, especially in light of the fact that in the last two years of his contract (in which he made about 12 million per year) he was 8-7 in a combined 25 starts. He should offer to pitch for free.

[Joey]

How many peso's does he want?

[NYStateOfMind]

The Mets would sign Pedro if Pedro would accept a heavily incentive laden contract. Pedro wants guaranteed money...

If it was me, I'd pass. Pedro needs to understand because who you are doesn't mean you will be better than you've shown, especially over the last 2 seasons...

[lil_pedro]

I think they should give him a shot...if they were willing to keep julio franco around a few years ago, virtually wasting a roster spot, just because of his 'presence' on the team...why not give pedro, a guy whose career has been much more credible, and who has the same, if not better, effect on the clubhouse, and who may just have 1 good year left?...

[Sign Pedro]

Sign him already; get rid of all these other chumps vying for the 5th spot!

Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!

[a GIANT forever]

yea well guess what pedro THEY DONT WANT YOUR DOMINICAN ASS.GO BACK TO BOSTON.OH THATS RIGHT THEY DONT WANT YOUR DOMINICAN ASS EITHER.

[SiSiPedro]

The Mets are fools if they don't bring him back as a 5th starter. Are they really trying to say it's about money? Please. That's a joke. Duaner Sanchez gets $276K for being released and they don't have money to pay a hall of famer to back up the rotation? The guys Omar plans on having in the 5th slot are awful. They spent money on the bullpen, so why not use them? Pedro can pitch 5-6 innings then bring in the high-priced relievers. Come on man, it's a no brainer!

pedro is done.

[ny fan]

Pedro on the cheap wouldn't hurt because he could start of fill in as #5 or rotate in and out of the bullpen. Pedro is done, but so are the Mets if they don't get another pitcher. Pitching wins championships.
