Nolan Ryan was throwimg at 94 MPH in the 9th inning at the age of 42. But, Pedro is no Ryan. I'm not a Boston fan, but they got rid of a 3.90 ERA. It's nutty that agents can talk about a "quality start" being you allowed 3 or fewer runs in 6 innings. That's a 4.50 ERA!
Good point. For the last 2-3 years, Pedro has been a 6 inning pitcher while last year we had Schilling consistently pitching into the 7th or 8th. With the way he's taxing the bullpen, why should Pedro be paid more than Schilling?
