Does anyone else find it somewhat dubious that a jury trial over $385 million lawsuit will be resolved in just ten days? I’m certainly no legal expert but from everything I ever remember don’t these trials tend to drag on for months?

It’s just like any other case, except that instead of dealing with $30, it’s an undefined amount. Some sources I have read have published this amount can be up to $385,000,000. Others, starting from $385,000,000.
In regards of whether it will drag down, it will drag down in regards to appeals from the defendants (in this case the Wilpons) or the prosecutors (in this case, again, Piccard et al) regardless on the outcome from this one trial (unless either party mentioned decides to accept the outcome in which case then it’s quick as you have stated).

cases like this actually are resolved fairly quickly once a jury is seated. You don’t call a lot of witness or spend a lot of time arguing over evidence. Both sides just get a set time to lay out their case and then the Jury decides what, if anything, is owed.
Appeals could drag out the overall case for months yet, but the jury in this particular phase should render a verdict pretty quickly, so the Wilpons will know roughly what kind of penalty they’re facing by the start of the regular season.

Pelfrey = Saunders = Nothing Special

I have no idea why anyone would think he is remotely deserving of a “significant” long term deal. He is already 28, this is what he is. An up and down pitcher, who should get two year deal, at most. Anything more than that virtually guarantees that you will throw money away.

Because he has Scott Boras as an agent and he will convince at least one team that he’s worth the money.

Pelfrey had a 5.0 K/9 and a 3.0 BB/9 not the other way around.

They have to decide on how much CJ Nitkowski would make on a major league deal? Seriously? He’s 39 years old and hasn’t had a good season since the 90s, it’s not exactly going to be in the millions.

ik lol… anyone in the Mets FO consider the league minimum…

“If Mike Pelfrey
is hoping to ever to sign a significant long-term deal, he is going to
need to show that he can pitch more consistently than he has in the past”
I read this and laughed because Mike Pelfrey is one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball over the last four seasons.
Mike Pelfrey, last four years:
2008: 200.2 IP, 9.4 H/9, 2.9 BB/9, 4.9 K/9, .5 HR/9 (good year: he was 13-11, 3.72 ERA)
2009: 184.1 IP, 10.4 H/9, 3.2 BB/9, 5.2 K/9, .9 HR/9 (bad year: he was 10-12, 5.03 ERA)
2010: 204 IP, 9.4 H/9, 3.0 BB/9, 5.0 K/9, .5 HR/9 (good year: he was 15-9, 3.66 ERA)
2011: 193.2 IP, 10.2 H/9, 3.0 BB/9, 4.9 SO/9, 1.0 HR/9 (bad year: he was 7-13, 4.74 ERA)
Consistency isn’t the problem. He’s very consistent. The fact that he’s mediocre is the problem. What’s he going to do this year? He’s going to throw 190-200 innings, walk three guys per 9 innings and strike out five guys per nine innings.
MisterBill 2
He’s consistently inconsistent. Hopefully he’s in line for a good season this year and the Mets can trade him for something decent in July.
BTW I thought he was going to be a free agent this year, not in 2013.

Utley owns Mike Pelfry.
Infield Fly
That’s not much to brag about, buddy. EVERYBODY owns Mike Pelfrey!
