Pedro Martinez report

[kingmike74]

Just wondering if anyone has concrete info on a timetable. I picked him up in 2 leagues but cannot afford to hold onto him more than 3-4 weeks.

I read this morning that it will probably be mid August barring any setbacks.

I read this morning that it will probably be mid August barring any setbacks.

Yeah, that's what I read too. From Yahoo!: "The Mets seem to be leaning toward having Pedro pitch a simulated game before scheduling his first minor-league rehab start. Martinez will probably need a month from the date of his first start to be ready for a return to the majors, putting his arrival date at around mid-August."

Which is contrary to what they said two weeks ago, which prompted me to pick him up off the WW and stash him on my DL, only to find out today it's going to be another month before they start him. I dropped him again this morning. I'm pretty sure he'll still be on the WW in my league in two or three weeks.
