News and Notes

Nov 17
The Mets, in search of an innings-eater to stabilize their rotation, are particularly intrigued by Pineiro, according to a team insider, the NY Daily News reports. Recommendation: While tossing a career-high 214 innings, Pineiro won 15 games, produced a 3.53 ERA, struck out 105 and walked 27. His 1.14 walk-to-innings ratio was the best in the league, and Pineiro also ranked first in the majors with a 2.73-to-1 ground ball-to-fly ball ratio last season. Pineiro would be fine as a 4/5 starter, but given the question marks surrounding the remainder of the staff, including Johan Santana, who is coming off elbow surgery, the team would need more than just him to boost the staff. |
