Could the Oakland A’s be taking a look at Pedro Martinez? How about the Los Angeles Angels? There is a good chance that Billy Beane has contacted the agent of Pedro Martinez recently. In fact most if not all of the AL West could use some starting pitching. It is really surprising that we haven’t heard more about teams being interested in Pedro.

Pedro dazzled in the World Baseball Classic and there is no reason to believe that he won’t be an effective middle of the rotation pitcher if he can stay healthy. The AL Central could use him too. The Chicago Whitesox (not to mention their crosstown buddies now that Carlos Zambrano is on the DL) have to do something about Jose Contreras and his 8.31 ERA. Kenny Williams can’t be happy with the way he has started the season and my guess is the Whitesox will be making an offer to Pedro very soon. Somebody out there will bite on Pedro and he could very well be of some help for a team that needs SP.
