I was happy to see that Pelfrey won the 5th spot in the rotation. What can we realistically expect out of him this year?

I worry that Pelfrey tried to get too fine with his pitches in AAA and in the Majors last year but with experience he will find his location and learn to trust the defense behind him. He does not give up many homers (4 in the minors combined and 1 in the majors) so if he is willing to trust LoDuca this could be a real breakout year for Pelfrey. The only thing that really could get in his way is Rick Peterson.
I don't expect him to just be good. I expect him to be an all-star.
