How about Pedro Martinez?

[colt4523]

Anybody seeing him contribute this year? Does he still have anything left? He didn't look good in his first rehab start, will this be what we will have to expect from him when he gets back? thoughts..

If you're in a roto league, I don't see much point in carrying him until he's back. Head to head and guaranteed a spot in the playoffs? Perhaps. Arms are very important in those last weeks, and he won't need any rest. He'll need to get his starts in before the postseason.

I wouldn't expect vintage Pedro, but most owners are always looking to cut bait on their worst SPs anyway. If you're in that head to head situation and you're stuck with some weakness at the back end, why not grab him? Trade for him? No way.

I am in the situation of being in a H2H league with a playoff team, so i picked him up well before the all-star break. He still struck out 5 in 3 innings, got hit when he missed his spots, his velocity will be down but i expect his control to come back. i think he will contribute. He is most definite a grab and stash guy if you have the room.
