NYM @ PHI

• Chan Ho Park was sadly everything I thought he would be. He had some major control issues (walking 6 in 4 and 2/3) and some hit issues (8 allowed). Hope the Phillies get Carlos Carrasco ready b/c Park does not belong in a big league rotation. He throws a lot of pitches, but none of them are real good and he has to be better then the sum of his parts. He continues to prove that he can only pitch in Los Angeles.
• Mike Pelfrey is an enigma. He has 2 pitches with plus velocity (a mid 90's sinker and a high 80's slider) but can't strike anyone out. While his pitches have plus velocity, none of them have real plus movement. The movement on the sinker is erratic and is nowhere near the level of a sinker of a Brandon Webb or even a Rick Porcello. His slider has very little movement, but just enough to not have balls get hit off the barrel. He also has some control issues. Has the chance to be a # 2, but I think he is a middle of the rotation guy.
• Pedro Feliciano is death to left-handers (outside of a home run he allowed tonight to Chase Utley). He has a solid enough fastball (low 90's) and an above average slide piece from a low 3/4 release. My numbers said that he may regress, but that will likely occur only if his arm decides to break during the course of the season, as his stuff appears fine.
• J.A. Happ was just there. Nothing too incredible out of him. Seems like an extra arm in the pen or a back-end starter, though he can sit at the low 90's with his fastball.
• Why does Jerry Manuel like Omir Santos so much better then Ramon Castro? I have watched Santos play twice and have seen a back-up catcher who is taking advantage of the fact no scouting reports are out on him. If the Mets keep Santos as a back-up and allow Castro to walk, I think Castro will catch on somewhere and make them regret it.

Not too much to report. Pretty boring teams to watch in my opinion (prefer young guys, these teams pretty much don't have those) and I am scheduled for a chart and a score tomorrow. Scoring the Astros-Braves game (Oswalt and Jurrjens, phenomenal matchup) at 3:30.

Also scheduled to have baseball practice tomorrow (which I haven't decided if I will be attending or not due to work). For those interested, in the scrimmage I went 5-6 at the plate with a homer and on the bump, I fired 3 innings, allowing 0 hits, walking 2 and striking out 7.
