The News When Mike Pelfrey arrives at the Mets' camp next week, he'll be around 25 pounds lighter than the weight he finished last season at, according to the New York Post. Our View Starting off the year's training in shape is certainly a good start for Pelfrey, but he still has a lot more to prove before fantasy owners start to take interest.

His sixth-place finish in the 500 last year was his best run all season, and his 13.8 finishing average at the track is the third best among active drivers.
