I will take the concerns of the two of you as a sign of encouragement. Penny did say that he grew up as a StL fan and always “dreamed” of playing for the team. I’ll keep my expectations low and be pleasantly surprised with any upside.

I agree with Butch – I was pissed.

I would have rather scooped Harden for the same money. Even better, I would have kept Piniero…

I hope you’re right, though.

I actually think that was a solid pickup for you guys.

We’ll see if he can turn that fat turd Penny into something. $7.5M…good grief…

Or maybe Dave Duncan is just a voodoo genius.

My crystal ball sees Piniero as 4-0 with a sub-2.00 era vs. the Cardinals in 2010.

People underappreciate this guy like no other. When I watched him pitch in 2008, he was, in my opinion, more consistent than anyone in the rotation. The numbers followed in 2009 and he is a solid #3 pickup.
