a question for Mr. Shor and anyone else with an opinion on this matter.

would you consider either Maine or Pelfrey a known quantity in the Mets starting lineup?

Let's take Maine first. Great pitcher and perhaps my favorite on the team. He breaks down easy towards the end, some say due to mechanics, and often due to injuries (such as the blister that plagues him in 07).

Pelfrey really got it together for the first time in the second half of last year, and that is not enough of a sample size to judge him as consistent let alone a known quantity. Of course there's a great chance he'll become a good starter and a consistent #2 or #3, but i've seen a ton of sophomore, and we need to give the league some time to adapt to him and see how he responds.
