Joel-Pineiro

  Joel Alberto Piñeiro (born September 25, 1978 in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He is 6'1" tall, and weighs 200 pounds. He is right-handed, and made his major league debut on August 8, 2000. Although he has had early sucess, his career has been plagued with control problems and inconsistency

Joel Piñeiro began the 2004 baseball season as a promising starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. The previous two years he started in 60 games, won a total of 30 games, and produced a 3.52 ERA. 2004 though, turned into a dismal year with Piñeiro posting a 4.67 ERA and the first losing record of his career (6 wins – 11 loses). Piñeiro suffered another problem when he was placed on the disabled list July 27, 2004 with a sore elbow and subsequently missed the remainder of the season.

Piñeiro continued his struggles in 2005 and was optioned to AAA Tacoma on May 14, 2005. He returned to the majors and started in 30 total games; however he was unable to return to his previous form and posted a 5.62 ERA for the year.

In 2006 Piñeiro was pulled from the starting rotation again on August 26th, and placed in the bullpen.

Following the 2006 season, the Mariners declined to tender Piñeiro a contract offer, making him a free agent. On January 3, 2007 he reached a preliminary agreement for a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox, where he is expecting to be in contention for the position of closer.
