A 3.63 K/BB ratio is indicative of talent much better than that typically associated with a 4/5 starter. If Pineiro keeps that ratio up, he’ll be more than worth the 6+ million he’ll cost. If.
Regardless, the Ms are going to look to trade him this offseason. What kind of deal they should take is what its in question. I am of the opinion that in this case, avoid a salary dump. I would rather not trade him unless something of actual value came along.
