Any good reason? Betting on someone coming off the DL is always a gamble, although Chris Young has been more reliable than ever. padres sticks very well could be ice cold. That being said, I was just trying to find reasons "not to" hammer them. :thumbsup:
Good luck to whoever you play.

Joel Pinero is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA. These numbers are not that telling as he has only had 5 innings of work in the bigs this year. He did however let up 5 runs 4 earned in that time. Obviously the padres bats have been hit or miss, but if Young is close to what he was, we may not need much in the form of offense to win.
I should have figured he was traded since he had no minor league stats with the cards organization to speak of. Thanks for the info. I get two things out of that, 1st that his previous start is rather telling of what to expect out of him. 2nd- the fact that he was a reliever makes me love this play even more. There is more to starting than the average baseball fan realizes. Most pen guys don't make a good starter and many starters suck as relievers, hence the reason they have a specific role. I really like the Padres more than before. Thanks for correcting me even if you were being condescending.
again your reasoning is flawed. he was a starter his whole career with the mariners up until now. There was more to his career than this year than the average fan realizes. and i wasnt being condescending, i wasnt trying to show you up in any way. it was more like you should know what the hell is going on before you back it with your money.I should have figured he was traded since he had no minor league stats with the cards organization to speak of.

... piniero has been a starter basically his entire career.
yahoo, cbs, espn, and mlb.com does have career stats. http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=334492
just click career stats and the last 3 seasons stats were on that page below his picture too.
