Joel Pineiro Signs With The Angels

Yesterday, I opined that Pineiro would probably sign quickly, and that he did. Here is what I said:

In 2009, Pineiro had his best year since 2003, going 15-12 with a 3.49 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP in 214 innings pitched. The ability to throw 200+ innings is a commodity in baseball, which was one of the main draws for Pineiro. Well, that and his league leading 60% ground ball ratio (GB%). I am not sure Pineiro will be able to duplicate that as his best GB% prior to last year was in 2007 at 48.6%.
