Bartolo Colon, winner of the Cy Young of the American League in the past Major League season, says he is recovered from his arm injury. "I am going to pitch as I would in any Major League game," he told Listin Diario, but then added, "I am going to be careful because these are the best players of each country."
Meanwhile, Manny Acta, manager of the team says he could use two opening pitchers per game; these are limited to 65 pitches per game in the first round. The idea is that they take it to the 6th inning, and from then call in relief pitchers from the bullpen. He said in a week they will know if Pedro Martinez can play. Pedro is at the Mets training camp awaiting his special shoes from Nike.
Miguel Tejada, of the Baltimore Orioles, commented, "Everyone knows that the DR has great talent, but one brings about the victory is not how you look, but what you do on the playing field." Tejada was the most valuable player of the American League in 2002.
