Pelfrey pleased with performance

Mike Pelfrey was sidelined with a strained muscle in his leg a few days ago. Today, as one of the only players in camp, he threw a bullpen session and declared himself ready to pitch.

From Adam Rubin:

Pelfrey said the discomfort, an "8" or "9" on the pain scale when he stepped back during his delivery and then landed immediately after suffering the injury, had reduced to a "1" or "2." After chatting with pitching coach Dan Warthen and trainer Ray Ramirez, Pelfrey declared himself ready to re-enter the Grapefruit League rotation on Saturday after missing one turn. He's on track to start Game 2 of the season, April 8 in Cincinnati.

Sounds good to me.
