Cardinals Got Tricked

I love the title of this story: No GM? No Problem: Cardinals resign Pineiro. Yeah, I think there is a problem: they just gave Joel Pineiro $13 million for 2 years. After watching that guy pitch in Seattle for many years I wouldn't give him $13 dollars for 2 years.

He pitched well at the end of the season, which facilitated the deal. By the middle of June next season fans will calling for him to go to the bullpen. He'll be 3-6 with a 5.50 ERA and everyone will be wondering what the hell they gave him that money for.

Trust me, we've been tricked before.
