Jon Heyman reports: Pineiro to Halos

Go nuts Angels! Pretty decent replacement for Lackey. Hopefully he can be as good without Dave Duncan.

$16 million for 2 years, I just read it on twitter from Jon Heyman:
#angles get pineiro. good job by davidoff. deal is for about $16 mil and 2 years, sources say.

MLBtraderumors say that the deal is worth $16 mil for two years.

Say hello to a 5.00 ERA, Anaheim


I told you, Sisyphus. It was going to happen. Sadly, it happened, but it happened nonetheless.

Good ole Leatherpants (Jim Bowden) has a thought:

Joel Pineiro....97.2 ip in 07, 148.2 in 08 and 214 in 09...last 60 ip...not the same..I think DL in 2010

Buster Olney confirms the $16 mil 2 year deal. Says they will have a physical on Thursday.

I honestly thought the Dodgers would be getting Pineiro. I wonder what they are going to do now.

[Providence A's]

Meh. I don't expect him to be that much of a help to be honest.

Screw Pineiro. Padilla outperformed him in Game 3 of the NLDS.

Wow, I could have swore the Mets would have offered him a ridiculously stupid contract.

Jimbo does have a point. Pineiro threw a career high in innings, the highest since 2003 for him, which also explains his slowdown in August and September. It will be interesting to see how he responds this season. Eitherway, I expect that ERA to rise of course.
