NickKBTV Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Houston Astros are close to signing Pedro Martinez. A press conference has been announced for Wednesday morning at 8:45 CT in Kissimmee, FL. Martinez pitched for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic earlier this month and worked three scoreless innings in relief against The Netherlands. Martinez has a 214-99 lifetime record in 17 seasons.
OldNedDog Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Looks like they could use the help. Bring him on!!!
Guest JoesBros Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 The Astros website is saying no Pedro??? http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090317&content_id=4008774&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
NickKBTV Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 Houston Chronicle is now reporting that the Pedro deal is not gonna happen. A reporter for the chronicle talked to owner Drayton McLane and McLane says that he is not selling the team or firing, hiring, or signing anyone. The press conference also has nothing to do with steroids. I believe someone leaked out information and now the Astros are trying to cover their tails up. Also, McLane says he's very confident about this news conference.
dayton Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Also, McLane says he's very confident about this news conference. ??? Boone announced he would miss the season because of a heart condition. I hope there is another announcement to come....
Guest JoesBros Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I'd like to know how this rumor got started. I know some web site I never even heard of reported it but where are they getting their info?? That would be a huge lift for this pitching staff.
josuenachos Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I wish, but it aint gunna happen. Uncle Drayton will not bring in someone that he has to pay that much for. i was very surprised that he ponied up 1.5Mill for Pudge
Guest Orangeboy Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 The first person I heard mention anything about was Carl Dukes on 97.5, he challenged Drayton to sign Pedro and 2 days later he was saying the Stros were close to sealing the deal. I think that was Monday and Wednesday.
7mary3 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 From what I've seen in Spring Training they could use some bats as well, I know they'll come around but geeeeezzzzzz! Can we at least get 2 wins in Spring?!

McLovin Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 There's something seriously wrong with this organization.
WC1 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Posted April 2, 2009 There's something seriously wrong with this organization. I'm trying to jump on the Astro band wagon this year but I'm starting to believe this ^ statement more and more and more.....
Gabe Posted April 2, 2009 Report Posted April 2, 2009 There is something wrong with the Red Sox organization too, they started winning to much
