June 13, 201114 yr QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Sox add Leyson Septimo LHP off waviers from ARI, assigned to BHam 2011 Mobile Bay Bears (AA) -- (2-1) 6.47 ERA 29.2IP 22K 25BB Interesting. http://diamondbacks.scout.com/a.z?s=247&am...amp;nid=3663325 After a failed career as an outfielder, Leyson Septimo has been converted to a reliever, a role that allows him to make the most of his stellar arm. Septimo's ability to hit the upper-90s consistently with his fastball makes him one of the most exciting left-handed prospects in the organization.
June 13, 201114 yr http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/press...sp&c_id=cws The Chicago White Sox have claimed left-handed pitcher Leyson Septimo off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks and optioned him to Class AA Birmingham. Septimo, 25, was 2-1 with a 6.37 ERA (21 ER/29.2 IP) and 22 strikeouts in 21 relief appearances with Class AA Mobile in 2011. He also limited opponents to a .202 (20-99) average, including a .186 (13-70) mark by righties. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder went 6-8 with a 5.79 ERA (111 ER/172.2 IP), 14 saves and 192 strikeouts in 135 relief appearances over four minor-league seasons in the Diamondbacks farm system (2008-11). Septimo, who was originally signed as a free agent on February 19, 2003, was selected to participate in the 2009 All-Star Futures Game and named to the 2010 midseason Southern League All-Star Team. The White Sox 40-man roster is now at 37.
June 13, 201114 yr Hmmm. A .202 BAA, but a 6.37 ERA. 25 BBs in 29.2 IP. I think I know what needs to be fixed with him. Control, control, control. You have to like the 192 Ks in 135 IPs though.
June 13, 201114 yr KW operating in stealth mode once again...J/k, but hopefully a mechanic tweak can get him some control.

June 13, 201114 yr At least he has a really cool name. Sounds like a former Roman emperor. Why not? Give Cooper and our AA coaching staff a shot at him? They have usually produced good results, when they've had some actual talent to work with, like in 2009. With Santos Rodriguez and this dude, hopefully one of them can break through. Heck, maybe they should just bring him to Chicago and have him observe Buehrle, Danks, Thornton and Sale for a couple of weeks, sort of an "internship," so to speak.
June 13, 201114 yr Funny thing is, Septimo was already in Birmingham. He was on Arizona's AA team, who are currently in town to play the Barons. I think the White Sox traded Gaby Hernandez to Arizona as some sort of indirect compensation. He was assigned to their AAA team.
June 13, 201114 yr Limits batters to a low BA. Well, I would think they probaby are afraid to dig in at the plate for fear his wild p[itches will taken their head off. But, in all seriousness maybe something positive will happen in his career and he will be of help to the Sox

June 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) 192 Ks in 172.2 IP. 135 appearances. Oops. Well thats a little different, but still pretty impressive.

June 15, 201114 yr Dude is listed as 6'0 tall and 150 lbs, that is like Chris Sale skinny. But a lefty who can hit upper 90s, has control issues with over 1 BB/IP, Aaron Poreda anyone?

June 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) He's listed as 195. I really look foward to hearing what you think about him. I assume he is out of options, so the Sox have to figure out how to fix him by next April.
