And when I read about that hand thing, hmmmm...isn't that what Pedro had? <BR/><BR/>And ya know what - he may be worth the contract; I based a lot of it on that disastrous 2007performance and before I checked out his fielding, which seems to be OK.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-4464917275748193482009-01-31T20:04:00.000-05:002009-01-31T20:04:00.000-05:00Hmmm, I had forgotten about his early career broke...Hmmm, I had forgotten about his early career broken hand.
