Have you seen his splits? He's 2.90 ERa in Seattle, and 4.40 ERA away. This is a case of the safecos. He's a quality #3, but he's no Felix Hernandez.Originally Posted by jacksonianmarch;720313;

Yeah, we're super jealous. I mean everyone on this board wanted Pineda. Get over yourself. He made a prediction and we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Pineda for Montero and Noesi? After all the Montero talk, I'm just glad he didn't fetch you guys a real #1/2. I am jealous of the Kuroda deal though... he was the real steal of this offseason.Originally Posted by Meh;720342;
We're jelly because they got a guy was good at home, Safeco Field (aka where hitting talent goes to die) and sucked outside of there.
Don't forget about Campos either. He can be a real problem in a few years.
I was being sarcastic but no need to talk bad about campos, he's legit. Also about pineda... all of last year all I heard was how he was the greatest young pitcher in baseball, the new felix, the new man in town. Now he's on the yankees, he's a #4. this being a red sox forum im not surprised he's being mislabeled. Is he an ace? No. Is he a #1 starter? No. Is he a#2pitcher? Yes. That's what we needed, I hate giving up the package we did tho.Originally Posted by italstallianion;720351;

IE Teixeira and A-rod are a real problem in the middle of the lineup. King Felix is a problem for opposing batters. I think Campos has a shot to be really good.
Btw it's like we're talking to two different Jacko's. The Jacko in this thread is much different than the Jacko in the thread where this trade was announced.
I figured you were being sarcastic, mehOriginally Posted by italstallianion;720356;
You probably heard those things before the All-star break. Pineda isn't a bad pitcher. I'd say he's probably a #3. He needs more than one season to prove that he's the real deal, a season outside of Safeco.Originally Posted by Meh;720353;

I cannot understand how some posters here are looking down on Pineda's talent. I'm not saying he couldn't bomb, because with pitchers you never know, but the stuff is definitely there.
We miss you Mike.
Either way Pineda is a huge upgrade over Burnett, and at least he won't be calling himself "nasty" when he's giving up four runs per start.
