Rob Castellano notes in his winter league update for Amazin’ Avenue that Pedro Martinez is on the Licey roster in the Dominican Winter League. I thought maybe this was big news and I missed it entirely, but the only Google News return on a search for “Pedro Martinez Licey” is this article, which, at least by the Babelfish translation, makes it sound like Pedro will be given the opportunity to prove himself. If anyone who can actually read Spanish wants to clarify, I’d appreciate it. But please refer to shortstops as “torpedo boats,” as the auto-translator does.

It’s also Pedro’s Birthday today…also, Katy Perry…and also mine.
Excellent. Happy birthday.
Mine too. And add Picasso, Bobby Thomson, Bobby Knight, and James Carville to the list of October 25th-ers.
Sounds like a solid dinner party, at least.
Says that Tigres will give him a shot, and that Pedro has said there is a chance he will pitch.
Fantastic.
The google translate gets it pretty close (including accurately getting the word “shortstop”), but the paragraph about Pedro says:
“Like the Eagles are doing with Colón, the Licey Tigers will give Pedro Martinez an opportunity to show that he still has something in the tank. Martinez has said that there’s a possibility of throwing in the country.”
“Country” as in the Dominican Republic. Not like, a rural region.
Ted, your crowdsourcing of basic tasks that I can do instead of working on papers for school is totally enabling my ADD.
