Note: Pelfrey vs. Duque, live from Florida
Orlando Hernandez and Mike Pelfrey are both scheduled to pitch this afternoon in Fort Lauderdale against the Orioles.
…the buzz from St. Lucie seems to be that if el duque can get through today’s start without getting rocked or injured, regardless of what pelfrey does, the fifth starter spot will likely go to el duque…which is wise…like i had said, i feel pelfrey needs more work, and el duque has earned the right to perform…
…once el duque stumbles or hurts 
himself, then pelfrey can step in as he will have had time to get his act together in New Orleans…
