Where does he rate against all MLB pitching coaches? Just wanna know what everyone thinks. I happen to think the guy is very good.

Has El Duque ever worked with a pitching coach as good as Peterson?
I have a feeling this guy with the help of Peterson is gonna have an awesome season. Just my opinion and gut feeling.(HOPE)

Peterson is definetly a top 5 pitching coach.

And you have to love that he always wears the jacket no matter how hot it is outside.

Off the top of my head

Don Cooper
Dave Duncan
Leo Mazzone
Chuck Hernandez-Great job this year

Peterson is also great with the draft.

So you have Peterson at 5. Im real glad this guy stayed when Howe left. I do hope he was not the one to have any influence on the Kazmir trade though. Thats tough to forgive.

He is the pitching coach not the GM, I'm sure they asked him what do you think about Kazmir and Zambrano but to think he made the deal is ludicrous.

Influence IKEY not Decision. I heard a report in one of the papers he stated the kid nots gonna be ready for a couple yrs. 2 weeks later he's starting for the Devil Rays. Shutting down boston no less.

That was his opinion, He relies on data and his data told him he wasn't ready.

You can't blame him for giving his opinion. Lets calm down before anointing Kazmir the next Doc Gooden now?

Peterson is right with young pitchers more often than wrong, Zito, Mulder, Hudson, Blanton, Pelfrey, Humber, Kazmir were all Peterson infulenced picks.

EDIT: Humber and Kazmir were NOT Peterson picks

Bonderman and Harden WERE

LOL noit the design,

Quick give me Peterson's uni # w/o looking it up?

Not one Met fan I have asked knows it because you NEVER see his jersey.

Well I guess we can only hope Pelfrey stays with us and becomes the player we all hope he's gonna be. BTW I was not aware of who he brought up. Thats pretty damn good judge of talent.

yes indeed, the mullet, the jacket, but he is a great pitching coach...

I dont know how much work he does with the vets, but he definatly does good work with the younger guys...

OT, anyone notice on Lima's last start when the showed him throwing his temper tantrum in the dugout, rick peterson gave him a pat on the back and Lima flipped out like "Dont touch me!" and yelled at him? haha...
