Pedro back to the DL
2008-04-02 18:29
by Bob Timmermann

Pedro Martinez's return to the active roster was short-lived as he pulled a hamstring in his first start of the season and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Sports Ticker describes the replacement this way:

To compensate for the loss of Martinez, the Mets purchased the contract of righthander Nelson Figueroa from Class AAA New Orleans. Figueroa, 33, has not pitched in the major leagues since 2004 with Pittsburgh.

The journeyman has a 7-17 record with a 4.65 ERA in 74 career games with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers and Pirates.

I guess the compensation for the loss of Pedro Martinez really isn't compensatory?

Coulda been Ed Figueroa. That would be a blast from the past.
