Yankees Go With Javier Vasquez Instead Of Joel Pineiro

In many ways their decision came down to Javier Vazquez in a trade or Joel Pineiro in free agency. Yes, the Mets are most often associated with Pineiro since they actually bid on the righty, but the Yanks were intrigued by the new, sinkerball version of Pineiro. They did fret, though, if he was a creation of Cardinals pitching guru Dave Duncan and whether he had enough stuff to navigate the AL East.

So, the other day a young St. Louis Cardinals minor-league doubled off the fence, and afterward joked that if he cut his hair maybe that would give him the distance he needs to get the ball over the fence. We know this not because reporters collected him around him after the game or because the game was televised on ESPN and he got a dugout interview.

2009 Quad Cities River Bandits Pitching Stats

We’re out of small season stat-land, but there still plenty of caveats that apply. The average aged Midwest League hurler is 21.7. The league average ERA is 3.96 and the normal K/9, BB/9, H/9 and HR/9 rates are 7.8, 3.4, 8.6 and 0.6. So while a player Arquimedes Nieto got a little bit of hype (from people like me), he was pretty darn average.
