Not worried about the 5th starter cause it is just that the 5th starter

Our top 4 is so good with Santana, Martinez, Perez and Maine plus the pen is solid

Duque is the 5th starter………it’s not rocket science……if he is healthy he will get the ball and well he has one more start and then 2 weeks so we will see

Pelfrey got rocked but he still has talent and is fine as the extra man or even 5th guy to start

I rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally like Reed Johnson……if we can get him great!!!…………..but i doubt it cause their are teams like the Padres who have no OF depth and will grab these types of guys first

I fully agree! I had high hopes for Pelfrey, especially after the Scott Kazmir nightmare… but it’s pretty obvious by now that he is just not that good. He has no movement on his fastball whatsoever and does not have enough of an arsenal of pitches to offset that. If I were batting against him, I would sit on the fastball as well, too. And, its plain to see he loses focus in the mid-innings and does not have any semblance of mental toughness to bear down when the going gets tough.
He’s had more than enough chances to develop and show Willie and the organization he is part of the team’s future, but he has disappointed them every time.
I would not be surprised at this point if he gets traded away by midseason or this next offseason if he doesn’t show any dramatic improvement either in the majors or AAA.
He is currently so close to being a BUST, instead of a unform the Mets will need to determine his bra size!

No way would I compare Reed Johnson to Jason Bay. One was a prospect the other is a step away from coaching high school ball.

I would postpone choosing a fifth starter until absolutely necessary. Duque needs an extended spring training. Pelfrey isn’t ready. David Wells looks pretty good right about now. he could be ready for the April 12th start if he was brought into camp now
