Phillies looking at Pedro, Byrd
According to club sources, the Phillies are scheduled to watch Pedro Martinez throw a bullpen session in the Dominican Republic today. The Phillies are still in an exploratory mode, one source said. In other words, a signing is not imminent, or even likely. The team also has had discussions about veteran free-agent Paul Byrd, who posted a 4.60 ERA in 30 starts for the Indians and Red Sox last season.

Are the Phils really this hard up for pitching?
The Cardinal rotation is in dire need of help, but I wouldn't really want either of these guys.

I'll try out if they're that desperate. I can throw a good 60 mph so I got "Moyer speed" HA! I'd pass on both of these clowns and just call someone up, we have some good pitching prospects in the minors, they're in first place so who needs to spend $5M for what a 22 yr old can do for $300k?

The Phillies have already sent people to scout Pedro throwing a simulated game in the DR. He was also scouted during the WBC and scouts reported that he looked the best he's been in two years. So, it's not that people make this crap up. It's that you're too stupid to know what's going on in baseball.

The Phillies need an experienced arm with Myers out for the season. If they can use one of these guys effectively, who cares how much they get paid? Just give me a winning team (AGAIN!)

He might catch on with a team to pitch out of the bullpen, but not a starting job....IMO

Pitching must really be thin out there. No minor league prospects at all I guess. Too many teams and not enough pitching.
