Could Mike Pelfrey Be A Reliever?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  November 19, 2011
General manager Sandy Alderson earmarked getting a closer and improving the bullpen as his top priorities. Given that, why not consider erratic starter Mike Pelfrey in the closer role?

While reading about a rumor that the Mets and Rockies discussed a potential Mike Pelfrey for Huston Street swap on MetsBlog, I came across this comment by Matt Cerrone regarding Pelfrey. It’s something he never fails to say whenever he mentions Mike Pelfrey: “The team values innings pitched and, at the very least, he delivers them and with potential.” What does...

A closer look at Pelfrey- Street

Via Mets Fever  |  November 17, 2011
Photo by Michael BaronJoel Sherman reported earlier today that the Mets and Rockies discussed a trade that would be built around Huston Street and Mike Pelfrey. Intially I was all for the trade but that was probably due to my bias against Pelfrey, whether it comes from trade or non-tender I wish Pelfrey wasn't returning next.
