pedro martinez is a phillie

Today, while I was up in Delaware Water Gap, Pedro Martinez was introduced as the newest member of the team. I hardly know what to say. From what little I saw on TV this evening of his press conference, Pedro knows how to work the media. He was totally charming and entertaining. He also sounds like a total, professional pitcher. No surprise that. He is after all Pedro.

He signed his contract, for $1 million, and was immediately put on the DL so that he can start a 'rehab' assignment in the minors. Maybe he'll appear here at Lehigh Valley at least once. What a circus that should be.
