Pelfrey Gaining On El Duque
Mike Pelfrey furthered his case to make the team by throwing 3 shutout innings against the Braves yesterday while the man still slated to occupy the rotation spot he covets, Orlando Hernandez, threw a towel instead of a ball. The towel is supposed to create some resistance as El Duque tries to reworks his mechanics to take pressure off his ailing toe.
General manager Omar Minaya is optimistic that Hernandez will pitch batting practice on Wednesday and see game action over the weekend. But although a fifth starter won’t be needed until mid April Hernandez is still 2 games behind most of the other pitchers on the staff.
