I thought AJ Burnett went to the Marlins?

Pelfrey = gutless. The only good pitcher the Mets have home grown in the last 20 years was traded to Tampa in the heist of the century.

John I heard Buster Olney talk about this last night, just want to know what you think..

He said because Pelfrey wears a mouth piece it's hard for him to get saliva in his mouth, and he can't get the moisture on his hands to throw his breaking ball. Then they kept showing clips of Pelfrey licking his hand with his tongue.

I hope that the issue w/Pelfrey is that Scheinder is not there and therefore he is just not being aggressive.

But if not, Pelfrey will not be effective until he improves his mechanics so that he throws more strikes w/his fastball.

Secondly, he won't be really effective until he finds a pitch that can bore into LH.

This all leads to not going deep into games. But if the other guys would, then that problem would not be such a big problem.

All of this will take time. And it probably should have been done in the minors. But I'd rather see Pelfrey struggle than see T Armas, or Vargas, etc….
