Mike Pelfrey took the ball again for the Mets on Sunday. 92 pitches, 4 walks, and one loss later, his record dropped to 0-4, 6.39 ... with 14 walks vs. 10 k's in 25 IP.
The good news: Pelfrey can hit 98 MPH with his fastball. The bad news: He's fallen in love with it. According to ESPN data, he's throwing 78% fastballs .... and 93% fastballs when he's behind in the count (which is often). By simply waiting for fastballs, Major League hitters will continue to tatoo Pelfrey until he learns how to pitch, not just throw. But to state the obvious, he's not helping the Mets right now ... he should be in AAA, and in a just world, he should be the one to be sent down just as soon as El Duque comes back from shoulder bursitis in a week or so (if all goes well ...)

I agree. He's not ready for the majors and would be better off at AAA. He has talent and someday should be good pitcher, but he needs some more seasoning.
