Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
I think it is an unlikely scenario but sure it could happen. If that is the case sure dealing him might be a reality.
I honestly think the most likely scenario is he continues to be maddeningly inconsistent. But as a Yankee fan I'm hoping something has "clicked" with him and we see more outings like yesterday.Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
Would a good comp be Nova's turn around with the Pirates? I think it is, and the market was not as strong for him as some thought it might be. With that said, if he goes 200IP with a 3.5ish era, I could see him getting 4/5 yrs at $15m per.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
Pineda is just setting us up for the kill. Once men get on base, he will self-destruct. That is the pattern.
Standings: Big Inning 32-16; Blue Cut 27-21; Shoo Fly 26-22; Husk 22-26; Frank Pierce 21-27; Iowa City 16-32.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
He let up the traditional 2-out rally earlier this game, but through the 4th he is sitting 96-97 with the fastball (to my eye watching the ESPN readings, at least).

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
That makes more sense. Still excitingly high, but not in that incredulous/nervous area.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
No doubt. I still find it fascinating that pre-shoulder injury his FB was a 4-seamer with sink in on RHH's but after the shoulder injury his FB now naturally cuts (opposite direction). He's nearly back to where his velo was that fantastic rookie season, which is something I was skeptical would ever happen.
Just keep going to the changeup Mike. Look at some of the nasty changeups he threw a couple years ago: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/7395516...das-strikeoutsLast edited by Melancynic; 04-16-17 at 10:37 PM.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
Two very good starts in a row by Pineda. If he keeps this up, people are going to start to thinking that he may have turned a corner on the road to becoming a reliable, competent starting ML pitcher.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
I'm not gonna get excited with this dude, but the fact that he didn't turn into mush without having a slider early on was pretty encouraging. That changeup carried him through the early innings.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
while we'd all love more separation on the change up fastball, the movement on some of those change ups were sick. With that said, I want him to pitch amazingly well so we can trade him for a king's ransom at the deadline. I don't want him long term, he's broken my heart too many times.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
I'm not picking on you. It just seems a common theme in both the Pineda and Tanaka thread that a lot of posters seem to want these 2 in particular to do well enough to bring back a lot in trade but seem to want the team to do poor enough to be in sell mode.
It's a concept I'm having trouble wrapping my head around.Baseball is life;

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
i think it's fair, i'm a bit conflicted but I don't see this team as being a WS contending team, best case I think we're a fringe playoff team. Long term I don't want Pineda on the Yankees, I believe he's a headcase and I worry that one incredible year will cost us 100M and see him revert back.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
They just want to sell regardless of our record in July, figuring that the team will be better off long-term if we sacrifice this season. It also allows them to complain in almost any scenario, because they know damn well that the team isn't going to sell if we're in a wildcard spot come the deadline. If the Yanks take a turn for the worst, then they'll be able to complain about any player we end up keeping. It's like a Catch-21 for pessimists.

Re: 2017 Pineda Thread
Speak for yourself, I think by now I'm one of the more optimistic posters around here. but when it comes to pineda, I don't want him long term so if he's lights out at the ASB and we're not buyers, then I want him dealt so we can continue to build big time talent and have the ability to either trade those pieces for pitching etc when the time comes.
