Pitchers

Well, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at the season Pelfrey has put together so far. 8-1 with a 2.39 ERA, he has been dominant so far. Who knows how the rest of the season plays out, but if he keeps it up he will be well on his way to validating his top-10 draft pick status.

Now, to revisit an earlier discussion, let's compare Folly Perez to D. Lowe. Perez: 0-3 with 6.28 ERA and now mercifully on DL. Lowe: 8-4 with 4.44 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Now, I will grant that Lowe is not quite as good as I would have hoped, and at $15 M/yr is overpriced. But, he's not necessarily that overpriced, and the Mets would certainly benefit from having him in the rotation instead of Ollie at $12 M/yr.

J-E-T-$?

Woody Johnson is getting perilously close to sinking his team and replacing Wilpon/Minaya as the most inept manager. The Jets' unwillingness to spend money in a cap-free year could result in dramatic steps backward, just as they were starting to move forward.

Not to mention, the reason you can't sell your PSLs is the same reason the Yankees and Mets couldn't sell out their season ticket packages at first: your costs are too high.
