I was using the Pelfrey comp based on where I think he currently is. Not as a compliment. I’ve written Manning off (as the Tigers seem to have, as well).
I disagree with your assessment of Mize—I didn’t think he was rushed, nor do I think it’s time to give up on him. He has lost significant development time to injuries. If he’s pitching like this again next season, I’ll gladly revisit my outlook.
