What I hear on the radio is, Pineda only pitched 50 innings last year, due to elbow ligament issues or somesuch...
There is no way, no how, that he should be in the bigs now. The M's seem to have the stance of playing it cautious with him, and I'm all for it. To my way of thinking, if he stays healthy all year, he maybe gets a cup of coffee when the roster expands this year, then possible crack at the roster next year. Anything more aggressive than that seems a bit foolish IMO.
