I see Mike Pelfrey taking a minor step forward in 2011 as more responsibility is going to be placed on him starting the season off as the Mets’ “Ace”. While Mike may not ever turn out to be the true ace the Mets thought they were drafting back in 2005 he has slowly transformed into a very serviceable pitcher making strides towards becoming a strong #2 starter last year. With a full year under his belt now throwing the splitter Big Pelf should have learned how best to use his splitter. At times last year he got to splitter happy and it cost him with walks and runs. As a more matured pitcher if he can locate that pitch better and use it at the appropriate times he will get an increased strikeout rate, lower walk rate, and help keep the runs off the board. The wins I have staying the same mainly because I don’t feel the offense will do enough to give him more wins even with a slightly better performance.
