Vote No On Pedro (and yes on Andy)

Shannon Shark, Mets Police Chief

Pedro Martinez wants to pitch another year.   He'd like to do it in Flushing.   Omar should say no.
 
The problem with Pedro is that he doesn't eat innings.  
 
It's OK to have a back-end starter who goes something like 10-15 as long as the guy chews up 6+.   The old adage is that no matter what you do you will win 60 and lose 60.   The Pedro days last season really chewed the awful bullpen.
 
Andy Pettitte wants more money than the Yankees want to give him.   Andy made 33 games last year and pitched 204 innings.   While he wasn't the Andy of old, that does average to over 6 innings per start.   Sure his arm is about to fall off (as if Pedro's isn't) and sure $16 million is a lot of money, but as I've said in recent posts, this is all TV programming for SNY in a new ballpark.  
 
This is not the season for the Mets to act like they are the Marlins.  Spend the money.   You're going to make the fans give it to you anyway.
