WIth coaching help, added curveball and ditching of that mouth device, he has. He could be dominant consistently.

Just a few months ago I was adamant that Pelfrey was not a major league caliber pitcher. I called him a one pitch pitcher, and though I left open the possibility that he would eventually learn, I doubted it strongly, and I was labeling him a bust. I'm not ready to declare him a star, but it is apparent that Pelfrey does have more talent than I gave him credit for, and that he is in fact a major league pitcher. Kudos to those who urged patience. I believe strongly in accountability, so here goes. Just a few months ago I was adamant that Pelfrey was not a major league caliber pitcher.

Now that he's winning, teams and hitters will be taking a closer look at him and what he brings to his starts. Once the league has adjusted to him, he'll have to adjust to their adjustment. If he can do that, the sky's the limit. But it's exciting to watch a young player take his first leap forward, and you can't overstate the boost it gives to a team when their weakest starter suddenly becomes one of their strongest.
