As for this actual debate, the Kurt Suzuki experience would indicate that Pelfrey's early 2015 performance will be viewed as a the new norm, and vindication of their investment in him, rather than an aberration from his career numbers. Thus I would bet against Pelfrey getting traded. While we can hope that Pelfrey is healthy, improved, and has a better repertoire, I would also bet that his numbers in June 2016 look kind of like Suzuki's June 2015 numbers--in line with career numbers.
