It would be a nice luxury to keep him out of the bigs and let him develop at a slower pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 OR put him in the bullpen and let him set up. OR have him don some pads and head back to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 OR put him in the bullpen and let him set up. Thats actually a fear - that Lou has to keep him up in the show to set-up because he's one of the best out arms. He really needs to develop more.

AdropOFvenom Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I never thought he was all that great a prospect to begin with, nice fastball with very little secondary offerings and mediocre (at best) control. More lucky then good last year with his 1.41 WHIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More lucky then good last year with his 1.41 WHIP. Yup, I don't think he's going to be a good starter, doesn't have the secondary stuff that say, Joba Chamberlain has. Bullpen is probably a better option for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen is probably a better option for him. That used to be the knock on Pelfrey when he was struggling........give the kid some time to mature and then we can label him.
