I'm definitely not sold that Pineiro is suddenly a solid pitcher again, but he did show me that he's regained something in his arm while he pitched for St. Louis in the last 6 weeks of the season. Add Dave Duncan to the mix and us Cards fans may see a 10 or 12 win season out of him. And like Tim said, if Weaver or Marquis can get that kind of money now, any starting pitcher can.

I'd have preferred a one-year deal with an option that kicks in if certain incentives are met. But hey, Jeff Weaver made $8 million last year, so what do I know?
