Duly noted.
Now to answer the question asked, it's Ty Law. He's a top cornerback, he's making top cornerback money, he has two Super Bowl rings and could likely have one or two more in the next few years, and plays in a city that adores the Patriots. And he's a shithead.
Pedro is under more pressure because of his reputation. He's getting older and hasn't been healthy, and is losing his effectiveness a little bit. He knows this is his last shot at a big contract, and wants to do what he can while limiting the pressure on himself.
Personally, as an Oriole fan who's team may be looking for a pitcher after this year, I'm hoping we try for Derrick Lowe.
