This pitching staff proves why the Pineda/Montero trade was a good trade.

Boardroomjimmy aka Mr. Meebo Posts: 3,300	My title is pretty self explanatory. This pitching staff had/has more holes in it then swiss cheese and something needed to be done to solidify it now and in the future. Sure an injury happened and there's all sorts of whack conspiracy theories that pineda wasn't examined thoroughly enough before the trade but the facts are the facts... he was injured during spring trading and at the time it was the right move. On a side note if we all feel the need to get upset any someone within the org. we need to be upset with Hank Steinbrenner. That A-rod contract is a big reason why the yanks are in the situation they are and are going to be. B HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

fatgiambi Posts: 1,114	normally ur off ur rocker, but this is a good post. the pineda trade was the right move, regardless of what occurred. the arod contract and the tex contract are the culprits. mostly the arod contract though. also i wouldve not paid garcia to do exactly what phelps or warren couldve done. the kuroda move was ok b/c it was only one year and he has talent. but it lacked foresight to get into the arod and tex deals. yanks really gotta pray that either banuelos or betances pan out.

TheIronHorse Posts: 838	Everyone has to stop with the Arod contract. It's ridiculous already. The Arod contract is not what's hurting the Yankees now. In 2 years it could be a different story, but stop lying to yourselves. The guy may need to DH once a week and that's it. There are plenty of at bats at DH to go around.

Hank is the reason why the can't develop pitchers? To anyone going through a difficult time right now remember someone always has it worse.

paterson Posts: 959	Michael Pineda went 1 and 4 with an ERA over 5.00 in an expansive ballpark during the 2nd half of 2011. Do you think that might have been a clue that something was not right with him? I don't see how giving up an elite hitting prospect, even if he never develops into more than a reserve catcher, for a questionable pitcher was a good idea. Even if you give all the characters in this sordid act the benefit of the doubt, doesn't it tell us something when he showed up looking like Hideki Irabu for training camp? Yes, the Yankees could use more pitching, but this was a dumb deal!

That contract affects everything the Yankees do. They don't operate in a vacuum.

His peripherals were the same or better through the 2nd half. The 1 and 4 is the Mariners' awful offense as much as him. There was nothing really questionable, and if the results in the 2nd half had been just as good, the Yanks would have had to give up either Banuelos or Betances along with Montero to get him.
