Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Darvish, Bailey, Pineda

By Mike Axisa | December 30, 2011 at 11:10am CDT

On this date in 1935, a left-hander named Sanford Braun was born in Brooklyn. He went on to throw a perfect game, win three Cy Young Awards and one MVP, and be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Braun changed his surname after his mother remarried during his childhood, and rose to stardom with the Dodgers as Sandy Koufax. Here are this week's batch of links, the final BBWI of 2011…

    FYI: The “MORE MARINERS” Story on Pineda site is coming back with a virus attack reported by my AVG virus software.

        I thought so to, so I closed it out and went back there a couple times and each time it detected threats. I’m not personally concerned as it was detected… just letting others know so they can make their own decisions before going there.

              Yeah, the Churchill offers are lame.

    I don’t understand all the “let’s trade Pineda” talk. I know one season does not a legit star make, but the M’s are young and far away from contention, guys like Pineda are who we should be trying to trade FOR not AWAY.

    I realize that trading him would bring back a bevy of prospects, but I just don’t see it. Most M fans flat out refuse to consider trading Felix but love the idea of trading Pineda.

        Because unlike Felix, Pineda is under control for a long time at a low price. If anyone should be traded the last person should be your rookie star pitcher.

          and unlike felix, pineda isn’t actually a star. they’d be selling high on him in an extreme seller’s market. at the very least, it should be explored

            Everything should be explored, but looking at the A’s trading two young arms, I don’t think the market is all that extreme, and certainly doesn’t appear to be so if bats are your biggest concern.

              Do you not think the A’s got a great haul for a pitcher who is not as good, young, or cheap as Michael Pineda?

    Interesting articles on Darvish. Hopefully, he won’t demand more than 10-12mil per. You figure he won’t since not signing costs him bigger bucks than he would make in Japan as well as cost the Ham Fighters that posting fee.

      I see him signing on a 5/75 deal, which is still reasonable. We all wish he’d sign for 5/60 but it won’t happen unless Darvish hates Japan or something that makes him want to sign for anything.
