Allegedly washed up and over the hill,
Pedro Martinez is now 5-0 with a fine 2.87 ERA !
Currently the Phillie hurler has the best career adjusted ERA +, of any starting pitcher ever, better than Walter Johnson, Lefty Grove, or Cy Young.
It is still la bit early to judge his spot in baseball history, and he has been less than an ironman over the years, but it does seem likely he just might be, THE best starter of his era, perhaps topping Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddux ???

I thought about making a similar comments considering it was the Mets, but didn't want to take away from Pedro's pitching performance so far this year

Pedro was one of the best when he was younger and healthy....If you want to base a suggestion of Martinez's best year versus Maddux's best year....Maybe you have an argument comparing Martinez to Maddux...If you are basing their total careers, then I say get off the crack pipe please.lol
Same thing if you compare him to the Rocket.

Guess the Mets should have taken him before the season when they had the chance.
Ooops.
Actual ERA, and WHIP, plus W-L percentage, also the crucial K/BB ratio, and , perhaps the most common stat for pitcher evaluation, adjusted ERA +, and it is worthy to repeat, Pedro is THE very best all time starting pitcher, ever, in that stat.
As for durability, which has become far less critical in this age of closer/set up specialization, Pedro. as well as Maddux and Randy Johnson, all have a CG +, complete games in relation to their league average, of well above 200, more than twice as likely to throw a complete game, Clemens is right there at 196 also.
Perhaps a bit unfair, to label Pedro's quality in comparison to the others, as substance induced ?
I thought Sillie fans were smart, I guess not.
I'm lovin that.
