Pedro out 4-6 weeks

Mets starting pitcher Pedro Martinez was placed on the DL by the Mets today after leaving his start on Tuesday with a pulled hamstring. I've said before the Mets look to be overrated, and their pitching is very average, even with Johan Santana. Pedro's injury means Mike Pelfrey is now in the rotation for good (Bad news) and the team will now likely sign an arm like Claudio Vargas to fill out the rotation (Not good news). John Maine and Oliver Perez likely won't repeat their success from 2007 and Orlando Hernandez is not the answer. Don't be surprised if Pedro does little to help the Mets this year, and it wouldn't be a shock to see the Mets finish third in the NL East.
