Buzz: El Duque leads Pelfrey

by Matthew Cerrone on March 27th, 2008 at 4:23 pm

In a post to his blog for the New York Post, citing a team source, Bart Hubbuch explains why Orlando Hernandez is likely to be the team’s fifth starter, not Mike Pelfrey.

this is fine by me, as long as el duque is healthy…whatever that means for him…

…pelfrey needs more work in the minor leagues…more to the point, he needs to get it together, get aggressive, and show some fight…the kid has so much talent, yet looks and plays so passive…

…meanwhile, as i said the other day, if he’s ‘healthy,’ el duque has earned the right to do his annual magic show…and so, until he fails or gets hurt, it’s his show…while pelfrey keeps throwing and working in new orleans

Hernandez and Pelfrey are each scheduled to pitch tomorrow against the Orioles.
