SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - Dominican Republic star Pedro Martinez will decide next week if he will play in the World Baseball Classic, team manager Manny Acta said on Wednesday.

Martinez has had pain in his right toe and was waiting for a special shoe to start pitching.
"Pedro will receive his special shoe today or tomorrow and decide in a week if he will be able to pitch or not," said Acta during a conference call with Bartolo Colon and Miguel Tejada.

"If it were up to Pedro, he would pitch, but we only know that he will do that if he is healthy and not going to embarrass himself if he isn't up to 100 percent."

Acta had thought Sammy Sosa would join the team.

"There's still a lot of baseball left in Sosa, he's only had one bad year and has a lot to offer the Dominican team," said Acta.

The Anaheim Angels' Colon said he was in good physical shape for the inaugural tournament.

"I feel 100 percent. I will come prepared," said Colon.

The winner of the Cy Young award injured his shoulder during the Major League Baseball playoffs.

"Mentally I am fine, and my arm is fine. I am only hoping not to have more problems," he said.

The World Classic is a 16-country tournament from March 3-20.
