    Pineda out with Labrum injury

    Devastating blow to a young pitcher. Absolutely horrible blow to the Yankees pitching
    staff. This kid was looked at as a possible #1 or #2 and the Yankees gave up their
    top prospect, Jesus Montero for him. I really feel for this kid who has legitimate ACE
    talent. You just never know about "sure things". No wonder the Orioles are 'babying'
    their prospects. Its all fragile, these young arms. Sad.

    Sad for the kid, yes. But not for the Yankees.

    This. I feel bad for the player but not at all for the Yankees. We have had this happen to us too many times to feel bad at all for any team, especially the Yankees.

    I always hate to see a young star suffer a terrible injury.

    But, if it has to happen, might as well be the Yankees.

    That's too bad. Good for the Orioles but you never like to see a young player get injured.

    When I first saw the thread under Orioles Talk I read it as Pineiro and was thinking this was typical bad news for the Orioles even as a minor league depth signing.

    Pineda is much much worse news for the Yankees.

    I'm sure the Yankees will be making a trade for Garza real soon.

    As someone who is currently rehabbing an anterior and posterior labral tear, I feel his pain. Cant say I feel the same way about his employer.

    Nice to see that another team in our division has some bad luck too.

    Cashman can say whatever he likes, but Pineda's diminished velo the second half of last year was a huge warning sign, as was the Mariners' seeming willingness to trade a cheap young guy with true TOR potential for a DH (+ Campo - Noesi).

    Agreed... didn't see THIS coming, but I knew something wasn't right. Good for the Yankees, tough break for the kid though.

    And...Cameron at it again: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...h-torn-labrum/

    Pitchers are always a risky investment, and any time you pay a significant price for a young arm, you know that it could blow up on any given pitch. However, the consensus at the time of the deal is that it was a smart move for the Yankees to make, and an organization can’t entirely avoid acquiring pitchers simply due to a preference for risk avoidance. If you want a good pitching staff, you’re going to have to take some gambles on some young arms. The Yankees did, and in this case, it didn’t work. That doesn’t make it a bad idea, or a move that the Yankees front office should be criticized for making.
    This makes perfect sense, I guess. Particularly if you've already claimed that his diminished velocity over the last year is "no big deal":

    Bottom line – this just isn’t really something to be overly concerned with. He only threw two innings in an exhibition game, and did so after being strongly encouraged to work on his change-up during Spring Training. For Pineda, there was no incentive to come out throwing 95, and he’s already shown that he prefers to work at lower velocities early in games.

    If it’s mid-April and he’s trying to keep the Yankees in a regular season game and can’t get his fastball over 92, then it’s cause for alarm. Now, though, it’s just not really something that anyone should spend much time worrying about.

    Right, Dave. Nothing to see here. Just bad luck. Etc.
