Every fastball pitcher has problems in cold weather. Look at Nolan Ryan's stats or Steve Carlton's or Koufax's every April they had problems with control and working up to their mid year form.
Or presently, Randy Johnson or Kerry Wood or Roy Halladay, all have high ERAs and have struggled so far. But by the end of the year all will have ERAs at 3 or under and all will win close to 20.
Power hitters go through the same thing. Look at Thome, he always struggles till mid May.
No Pedro will be fine. especially when he starts pitching to the lesser teams like the Central, Texas, etc.
When it gets mid-June and these guys are still struggling then it's time to worry. It's a marathon guys, and a slow start doesn't mean crap it's what they do in the middle and ending that matters.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
