08:52 AM - Note: Pedro to Start on Wednesday
...posted by Matthew Cerrone...
Pedro Martinez will make his first minor-league rehab start on Wednesday for the St. Lucie Mets against the Lakeland Tigers and 20–year-old OF Cameron Maybin.
…the buzz from st. lucie is that a) pedro feels great, following a 67–pitch simulated game last week, and b) he is now ready to open it up a bit, work his fastball more, and get in to game mode, which i guess he did not do in the simulated game…
…by the way, from what i understand, martinez is on the team’s 25–man roster now, and whether on the disabled list or not, he is eligible for post-season even if he is not activated before september 1…so, there is no rush for that reason…if there is a rush, though, it’s because the Mets would like to get pedro at least five or six major-league starts if he is to help out during the playoffs, assuming the team gets to October…as it is, if pedro makes four minor-league starts right now, and has no set backs or misses a day, he will be back by the end of this month, leaving him the roughly five to six desired starts in september with the Mets…one more delay, though, and that number starts to dwindle…
