The Minnesota Twins sign Mike Pelfrey
The Twins have signed 28-year old righty starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey to a 1-year, $4 million dolllar deal. Pelfrey had Tommy John Surgery last May, but he’s expected to be ready by 2013’s Opening Day. Pelfrey pitched in 3 games (all starts) for the Mets last year and he was 0-0 with a 2.29 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Pelfrey has now pitched in 153 games (149 starts) in his first seven years in the majors and he is 50-54 with 1 save, a 4.36 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Pelfrey will likely slot into the #3 or #4 slot in the Twins’ rotation if he’s healthy.
