August 2, 200520 yr Interesting; Joel Pineiro may be the odd man out with the certain arrival of Jorge Campillo and Felix Hernandez. Campillo is pitching tonight and it sounds like Hernandez will go on Thursday, which may be the day that Pineiro is sent packing. Aug. 2 - 10:06 am et Wouldn't he be a nice addition if we could trade for him (if we didn't have to go up a lot). Won't happen though.

August 2, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) Would love to see it. They just cut Aaron Sele too. When he's healthy and dominant he's a #2 quality starter. Unfortunately that just hasn't happened for him lately.
August 2, 200520 yr What does Pineros' contract look like? Is there any chance at all he could slide through waivers?

August 2, 200520 yr Author Reading up on him, looks like his velocity hasn't come back and he's still having elbow problems. May have to have surgery again.

I don't know if he would make it to us. i remember when he first came up he was an absolute stud. he was like 5-0 at one point. we faced him and iirc he shut us down. righties went 0 for their first like 47 against him or something. that said i thouhgt he would be a special pitcher but it hasnt materialized for him. i dont think hed make to us in waivers, but you never know.
August 2, 200520 yr Seattle is gunna have a different image the next few years once they get these voung guns some playing experience in the big leagues.
August 2, 200520 yr Does anyone know if Seattle is looking at releasing Pineiro or waiving him. I could definately see him signing a Wade Miller type deal with the Sox, since I'm pretty sure KW has coveted him for a while. You could DL him for the rest of the season, let him have surgery and get 100% and have him return next year replacing Count.
August 3, 200520 yr I'm sure Freddy could give Ozzie and KW a very good scouting report on him as well. Might be worth a shot for next yr
August 3, 200520 yr if he goes on waivers, the way the yankees have been picking up pitchers it would shock me if they didnt take him before he got to us
