That would be nice, but let's start a little lower...baby steps... He's not even Oliver Perez yet... although you could draw that comparison as far as inconsistency goes. Brandon Webb???

What im saying is the mets had no choice but to call him up thus impending his development. Shame on the mets for alot of things but i guess its the sink or swim tactic of the Mets....whayagunnado. no i understand your point about his development.

Have to feel this was a big reason Schneider was brought to NY, and in the games he caught Pelf it seemed to pay off. Lets hope he can Ollie a bit more grounded tonight too. Couldn’t agree more.

He was never allowed to work on it with a MLB or minor league pitching coach. It's not like Pelfry's slider - Peterson's preference - is being thrown for strikes anyway. Go back to the curve Pelf. Hell with Peterson on that call. Throw what you know. He was a college pitcher when he had the curveball. He was never allowed to work on it with a MLB or minor league pitching coach.

Yes he gave up 5 runs but the Mets had it at 5 to 4 before the bullpen implosion. The bullpen had more to do with the Saturday loss than Pelf.

All I know is the struggles came when Schneider went down. I'm curious to see if Brian being back changes that at all. What I have seen is with Brian behind the plate Pelf pounded the bottom half of the zone with his sinker. Same here mrose. All I know is the struggles came when Schneider went down.

If Pelfrey had a great and varied arsenal and magically lost it, then I would agree that we couldn't blame the Mets for his lack of development. He's never had good secondary pitches. Ever. And he has 176 career minor league innings, which is criminally low for someone that was so raw. If the Mets were forced to use him before he was ready, then the blame lies with the Mets for not having enough appealing options to keep Pelfrey in the minor leagues and developing.
