Pelfrey: The Worm Is Turning

Nice to see Mike Pelfrey get some run support tonight.  I know he didn't pitch especially well last season, but if memory serves he was either awful or OK.  He only had one that one start in ATL where he pitched really, really well.  Like, he had a bunch of starts where he pitched well enough to have a 50-50 shot at winning, but he couldn't win a single one.

Anyway, bad luck for Boudreaux, in this case, is good luck for Blank.  El Duque is going to be wearing a protective boot for at least a couple more weeks; which means that Pelfrey, for three or four starts at least, is no longer auditioning for a job.  Maybe he can relax a bit and just pitch.
