Comments on: Is This the End of Mike Pelfrey’s Tenure with the Mets? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/04/is-this-the-end-of-mike-pelfreys-tenure-with-the-mets.html Sun, 19 May 2013 19:42:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Robert Knapel http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/04/is-this-the-end-of-mike-pelfreys-tenure-with-the-mets.html#comment-245732 Robert Knapel Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:58:20 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=79042#comment-245732 I apologize. That should have read “majors” instead of minors. It has been fixed.

Clearly he won’t be tendered but I would like to see him resigned at a rate that is economical and incentive laden. If not, he moves on. So the real question is which team will he wind up throwing a no-hitter for once he leaves the Mets?

Huh?

It seems to me that he would be way better off in a small market team without all the pressure of New York. Maybe San Diego or Houston? Good Luck to him !!

The article is in no way suggesting that Pelfrey’s career is done, but rather questioning if he will be a member of the New York Mets next year. Based on the success rate of Tommy John surgery and Pelfrey’s age and talent, he will pitch in the majors again. It is just a question of who he will be pitching for.

In the end, he’ll be non-tendered and that will be that. I’ll be glad he’s gone, but I do feel for him personally. He’ll be fine and catch on with the Royals or something like that down the line.

and I don’t see this as being worth a deal like Chris Carpenter got (a multi year extension, with the first year dedicated to rehab). At least, I think they did that with him!

non-tender, and if they want to work out some sort of MiL deal, fine. most likely, he just stays as a FA until he proves he can pitch again, then some team picks him up on the cheap for the rest of 2013, then he hits FA and who knows.

Think 9 mil over 3 years? He most likely isn’t going to be ready until mid year, so I would think he would be non-tendered if he isn’t extended on the cheap. At the salary and production he provides, it was time for the Mets to move on regardless. This just pushes that along a little faster.

Let the chips fall where they may. Lets not dance on his potential grave as a MLB player.

Pelf at 5 mil would be a good match but 7 seems a waste of resources.

When he got off to the good start all I could think was that maybe we could trade him in July. Now we wont get anything for him.

Not sure if this really would have been a great year for him anyway unless he can bottle up his self-doubt and timidity on the mound.

In any case, I hope things go well for him.
