I got a text from a very close friend that said. Paul White was on XM radio and reported that the Sox will be signing Pedro Martinez and Brandon Lyon by the end of the week.

 

Can anyone else confirm this report. I'm stuck at work

You apparently haven't watched Pedro recently.

 

not saying either pedro or lyon are great at this point, but there ought to be veteran competition for those spots.

If you don't like Dotel, you will absolutely hate Lyon.

It depends on the role they're put in. Dotel as a 7th inning guy...ok. Dotel as an 8th/9th inning guy, ick. Lyon as a 7th inning guy with Dotel hanging around, along with the 2 Loogy's, leading in to Linebrink/Jenks...pretty nasty. Lyon as the 8th inning guy before Jenks or before someone else...worrisome.

Lyon would be a nice pickup..certainly a lot more reliable than Russell, Jimenez, or Wassermann. The chances of Linebrink and Dotel making it through this season without injuries would be low too. I like the idea of another veteran arm.

 

Anyone confirm these rumors?

Brandon just had a horrible 2nd half last year. Something was off...

 

Pre: 37.0 IP, 35 H, 7 BB, 28 K, 2.43 ERA, 1.14 ERA

Post: 22.1 IP, 40 H, 6 BB, 16 K, 8.46 ERA, 2.06 ERA

 

I'd be very happy if the Sox signed him.

I assume that last stat is supposed to be WHIP
