Pelfrey on the Blocks, Maybe?

This guy answered a fan's email about trading away Mike Pelfrey.


I don't understand why he'd open with such a weak statement and then back it up with some decent (e.g., his trade value will decrease between now and a year from now) and not-so-decent points (e.g., "5 million through arbitration next year. That's a lot of money for a pitcher who last year, in his best season, ranked 50th amongst Major League starters in Wins Above Replacement"). Well, I wouldn't say that $5 million is too high for a #2 starter (you know, 50th best pitcher, 30 teams...). Regardless, there are some other good tidbits in there beyond the Pelfrey situation.
Be good,
