Can I bit be a bit selfish?
Can I make a pitch for keeping super prospect Mike Pelfrey in AA, at least for another week?
I know the arguments in favor of bringing him up: He’s young and the Mets need a starter; they have a big lead and room for error; and now seems as good a time as any.
But I am selfish. If Pelfrey stays in AA through Friday or Saturday, then there is a chance that he’ll pitch Friday night when the Binghampton Mets visit the Trenton Thunder, and he might even pitch against the Yankees’ top pitching prosepct Phil Hughes.
And if that happens, my trip to Waterfront Park has the potential to be rather special — adding a little luster to what promises to be a special night anyway when we take my 5-year-old nephew Joey to his first ball game.
