Pelfrey is worse at missing bats than Jurrjens. Even with his good stuff. He's got that flat, flat fastball

A low K rate isn't a problem if you get a lot of ground ball outs, but Jurjens has a GB% in the lower quarter of the league (37%). Its gonna catch up to him and that ERA will climb.

Warthen has been working with Pelfrey after Rick Peterson did his best to screw him up by constantly tinkering with him. Pelfrey was throwing a plus plus fastball and a plus curve ball in AAA but when he got to the show, Peterson forbade Pelfrey from throwing the curve, changed his mechanics and forced him to throw a slider more which flattened out his fastball.
