The Yankee medical staff went over Pineda with a large number of tests prior to the deal being finalized and found NOTHING... NOT Brian Cashman, but team doctors.. guys whose job it is to make medical decisions. Guys who claim that what they saw in March when he hit the DL, was NOT there in January when the deal was consummated.
Now, assuming that the possibility exists that the problem with Pineda WAS pre-existing, that is NOT Brians fault, but the medical staff's fault. Though what I have heard, they have compared the MRI results on his shoulder and it is clear even to untrained eyes that there is something different between Jan. and Mar. So grow up and stop spouting crap that removes all doubt of your ignorance.
There is only one thing in baseball that is risk free... RETIREMENT.
Oh, and Montero may have been a great prospect, but just a bit of news... He has played 1 full MLB season in the majors... and did not do anything to demonstrate stardom..... I will admit, he showed he belonged, but average does not demonstrate stardom either.
