Pedro Has No Pain
3/6/02

  • More than one big story today, but none bigger (even if it is about the manager) than Pedro Martinez' outing yesterday against the Braves. Pedro looked like Pedro, like he hadn't skipped a beat. Two innings, one hit, and two Ks were on the menu, but best of all, included in the mix was NO PAIN.

    After the game Pedro said he felt good, that he wasn't experiencing any discomfort. He also said during the year last season, even after he had pitched well, there was pain, or something not completely right. But for now, he's got no pain, and is looking sharp. The biggest test, as I mentioned yesterday, will be how he feels at workouts today, keep em crossed.

  • The other newsworthy story of the day is, of course, the firing of manager Joe Kerrigan. Before the kicked out the door, and don't let it hit you on the way out stories surface, watch what you say. Early reports suggest that Kerrgan could possibly come back as the pitching coach.

    This would definetly be a move I would be in full support of, a move that I wish didn't have to be made. Meaning he should have never been removed from his post in the first place. The biggest hang up as far as that goes is going to be ego, it's not often, especially in baseball, that a manager is willing to step down in the ranks. I think it more likely that if Kerrigan does return, it will be after the season starts.

    Now of course the rumors will run rampant as to who will be the new manager. The early names on the list include Philipe Alou, Buck Showalter, Jim Fregosi, and Grady Little. At this point I really have no opinion on who I think should get the job, and if the vacancy is filled quickly, I'll have to take a 'wait and see' approach.

    Let the rumors fly...
