Didn't see that coming!

If you had asked me in the offseason, I'd have told you that former first round pick Mike Pelfrey was a number 4 or 5 starter at best, and maybe destined for a long career as a middle reliever. Now he is leading the first place (well, for now) New York Mets in wins after his first career complete game, against the rival Braves no less. Now granted this isn't your mid-90s era Braves, but having a 6'7" kid with a power sinker never hurts. He finally figured out that he just needs to throw the ball over the middle of the plate and let his natural stuff do the work. Even with Johnny Maine struggling with soreness in his pitching arm, the Mets sport a fearsome starting rotation headlined by Johan Santana, followed by some combination of Oliver Perez, Big Pelf, and the still effective Pedro Martinez. I'd put that starting rotation up there with anyone in the National League in a short series. Now about that bullpen...
