Pedro's future

Pedro has left the team to go back to his home in the Dominican republic to be with his ailing father. His dad battling an inoperable brain tumor had a seizure. Not sure how long Pedro will be away from the team but I'm sure he'll be given all the time he needs to be with his dad. His dad's health seems to be deteriorating at a fast rate that he may be near the end. I'm sure details will be released at a later point. On a side note. To basically destroy my blog from yesterday. Pedro insist he will not retire at season's end. In fact he thinks he can go two or three more. Well I wish I can spin this into an Hollywood version of hope for Pedro but lets face it folks. Pedro is a good pitcher but no longer dominate. His best days are behind him. I can see another year maybe but you know injuries will cut him down to maybe half a season. I just don't see the upside to having him.
