That's what Mark Herrmann asks in his column in Newsday.  The answer?  You better believe it.  Pedro Martinez is curently rehabing his shoulder, while the Mets continue their spring training schedule.  A late July- early August return is believed for Pedro.

Many in baseball said that Pedro's contract was absurd.  He was a pitcher that was believed to be one injury away from retirement. Of course, this current injury he has could be just that.  However, if Pedro doesn't sign here, I fully believe Carlos Beltran isn't here, then neither is a guy like Billy Wagner, etc. 

Pedro (and Omar Minaya) helped make the Mets mean something again.  So, in my mind, I couldn't agree with Herrmann more that Pedro was well worth the money.
