Pineda vs Oganda

I'm guessing that for most of us, tonight will be the first time we've seen Pineda pitch. Too bad this rookie will have to face the Rangers for his first official start of the season. Pineda comes in as a 6'7, 260 pound, giant of a pitcher. Hopefully his size intimidates the Rangers' lineup, because otherwise the offense will have to pick up his slask (hah!). However, if he can come in and have a few good innings, strike out a couple batters, and keep the ball in the park - no matter how many runs the guy gives up - I'd call that a success for him.
