I don't support a move like this 1)Because I'm emotionally tied to Pineda and 2)I felt he could at least bring back a young hitter with positional value.
Cost controlled starting pitching with ACE upside is in high demand. It's the most valuable commodity you can have in baseball. How we don't bring back a bat with positional value is beyond me. How we throw in Jose Campos, as if Montero somehow had more value that Pineda just blows my mind.
Either Jack and company are convinced they truly have Miguel Cabrera here and/or they don't love Pineda as much as everybody else does, or we just saw Jack panic.
With Fielder possibly slipping away and staring at what on paper is another bad offense for 2012, I think Jack got desperate. He knows his window to field a winning team is closing. I think he knows he won't be here in 2014 if this offense doesn't get fixed. As a result, he overpayed for an offensive fix. I hate when my baseball team is run that way.
