Is it Pedro's day to get hurt?

With the recent onslaught of injuries, is it really smart for the Mets to even allow Pedro Martinez to make his first start of the spring tonight against the Nationals?

If you read my "padded room" article, I now think Pedro should be one of the guys wearing all the pads too. Just wrap their entire bodies in bubble wrap, until they're barely able to move, just like Randy from "A Christmas Story."

I am pretty excited to see Pedro go tonight, though he probably wont be throwing for strikes or outs, just to get some solid work in against live batters in a game situation. Still, the idea of Pedro and Johan Santana, back to back, is just drool-worthy.
