Joe Strauss of the Post-Dispatch suggests the St. Louis Cardinals may be considering making a run at signing the 37-year-old right-handed starting pitcher to be their 2009 closer. There is a meeting scheduled Thursday morning between the coaches and front office to discuss the state of the roster and this topic may be on the agenda, Strauss suggests.


I can only hope the group can focus on more than one subject since in my opinion, the need for dependable relief from the left side is a higher priority than another closer candidate, especially one with the checkered injury record and mercurial attitude of Martinez.


While Pedro was once the best pitcher in the game, the first thing that entered my mind when I read the column was “Here we go again with another Izzy situation.”
