Pedro Pain-Free


Pedro Martinez continues to knock off milestones toward his return, and Wednesday morning marked yet another. Martinez pitched in his first simulated game on Wednesday, facing hitters and fielding his position in Port St. Lucie, Fla.Now four innings and 55 pitches closer to a return, Martinez used the session to restate his case for returning to New York within a matter of weeks -- not months.

This is great news, It is good news anytime anyone is rehabbing well, but it is extra special when it is Pedro. With the way the Mets starters have performed without Pedro he should not rush back and take all the time he needs. He should be pitching in minor league assignment in about 10 days.
