The Doctor is in...
Question #1: What the heck happened to Mike Pelfrey this year? He showed so much promise last year and did nothing but regress. Who is the real Pelfrey, this year’s or last? – Lawrence, Post University
Lawrence: Hate to say it, but I think this year's Mike Pelfrey is closer to what you will see down the road. He's a decent pitcher without a killer pitch. Maybe if the Mets were better, I could buy in, but right now the Mets are in shambles. Avoid.
Question #2: What is your take on Joba Chamberlain going into next year? – Junior, Newington, CT
Junior: Joba has all the skills to be a top notch AL starter. Dr. Roto thinks that Joba continues his ascent to stardom next year...give him time, he will be a stud.
Question #3: Is J. R. Towles still a top catching prospect or has his time past? – Fred, Perrysburg, OH
Fred: Back in 2007, the Astros thought they had something in Towles. He was high on their radar and looked like their catcher of the future. Since then, he's bounced around over the past couple of seasons, and has been nicked up with injuries. Let's give him a bit more time, but also check out to see what the Astros do in the off-season. That should be telling.
Question #4: Based on a $260 cap, what do you consider fair value for Curtis Granderson? – Kenny, St. Mary’s, PA
Kenny: Granderson has had a pretty good season in 2009. He has 30 HR and 20 SB, not too shabby. His runs scored have been low (due to Detroit's anemic offense). He also is hitting around .280 (big step up for him in that department). If you could get him for $25, be very happy.
Question #5: Guys in my league have soured on Homer Bailey, I haven’t. Am I insightful or a fool? – Aldo, Seneca, SC
Aldo: You may be on to something here, Aldo. Bailey has been excellent as of late. He has all the tools and nothing to prove in the minors. I still hate the bandbox ballpark he plays in and I don't trust Dusty Baker at all. But...he looks like a good sleeper for next year.
