Pedro

The Phillies won't sign Pedro Martinez so the 38-year old veteran is available to any team.
If I was the GM of a team with bullpen issues, I would call Pedro's people. The stipulation would be that Martinez would be in the bullpen, not a starter.
Martinez can still be effective, as he showed last year in the post-season with the Phillies. However, he can only be effective for about 5-innings. A lot of mileage on that magical right arm.
I'm surprised no one has made him a closer, like the Athletics and Tony LaRussa did with Dennis Eckersley.
Martinez fits the definition of a closer. He throws strikes. He still has great stuff. His changeup is one of the best ever. He is unflappable on the mound. The pressure of closing out a game wouldn't phase him. He would thrive under those conditions. All he has to do is blow it out for an inning. No pacing. Just fire away. Why hasn't Pedro made the transition to a closer? Maybe he doesn't want to do it. I don't know. But I would certainly make an inquiry to Pedro. It would absolutely extend his career which, right now, is over unless someone signs him.
