According to his agent, Pedro Martinez wants to pitch a full season next year.
Fern Cuza told FOX Sports that the old school righty is 100% healthy for the first time in three years and that pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies this postseason "rejuvenated" his client. Rejuvenated, despite that mangled Game 6 when he gave up four runs on three hits with two walks in just four innings, fanning five New York Yankees. Cuza blames that unfortunate outing on the flu.
Pitching with the flu with the World Series on the line, eh? Slick."I think he lost 13 pounds," Cuza proclaimed. "When I saw him in Miami last week, he was still battling it. He said, 'I don’t know what hit me.' I don’t know how he took the mound that night. I didn’t realize how sick he was."
Obviously, neither did Charlie Manuel.
The 38-year-old free agent signed with the Phillies midseason, and aided in their National League Championship. He went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA over nine regular season starts before pitching pretty damn well in the playoffs. Until the lackluster Game 6, that is.

I can't stand it when players just can't hang up the cleats and realize its time to be done. They end up tarnishing their career ala Roger Clemens.
There's no way Manuel knew he was sick. Not saying the Phillies would've won that game if someone else were pitching, but they would have had a better shot at it.
Mmmh...Yankees won, right? who cares about Martinez?
Lots of fans care about Pedro Martinez. He's a future Hall of Famer.
What a bunch of bullshit! Funny he blames his bad pitching on the flu AFTER the loss.
