Michael Pineda is on the DL with a forearm strain. While I hate seeing him go down with arm injuries because of his injury-filled past, I'm interested to see if it'll be a blessing a disguise. He hasn't thrown a lot of innings since he chucked 173 back in 2011. He was on pace to get close to that number. Perhaps he needs a few weeks of rest and rehab, and he'll come back fresh for a September and October playoff run.
Maybe not, but I'm going to look at this as a positive.
Oh, and to make myself feel better about his absence, here are a bunch of cards of his I picked up over the last few months, but never posted about.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Forearm strain is always scary to here. Hopefully he can help lead you guys for the final push in September.
