Pedro isn't done. He is a different pitcher than he was in his prime though. I think back to when he came out of the bullpen in the 99(?) playoffs and nohit the indians for something like 6 or 7 innings. Not a single fastball thrown. Everything was offspeed junk. Last season he was a pitcher not a thrower.
The problem is right now Pedro doesn't have his control. if he can't locate the ball he isn't going to be a good pitcher. I'm curious to see how things work out. I'm pretty sure he will get his control back and will continue to be the pitcher of last year (throws around 90, but still leads the league in Ks, WHIP, ERA...). That's different from the pitcher of 99 (which was possibly the best season for any pithcer relative to other pitchers in history), but still pretty good.
maybe it's wishful thinking. shrug shrug.
