Pineiro agrees to two-year, $13M deal with Cards
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Pineiro agrees to two-year, $13M deal with Cards Pineiro began the year in Boston s bullpen, making 31 relief appearances, and made two starts for Triple-A Pawtucket in late July before the Cardinals acquired him along with cash for a minor leaguer. He was pitching coach Dave Duncan s latest reclamation project with a 3.96 ERA the last two months, and closed out his surge by helping to knock the New York Mets out of the postseason in a 3-0 victory on Sept. 27. The 29-year-old worked into the sixth inning in seven of his starts, and the team was 7-4 when he pitched. He credited Duncan, who also has revived the likes of Jeff Weaver and Woody Williams in recent seasons, with reworking his delivery. Yep, the free agent market is going to be crazy next year.
