August 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 06:01 PM) Nice start for Santiago so far. I'd take him over Humber right now in the rotation....
August 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:47 PM) I'd take him over Humber right now in the rotation.... Lotta faith for 1 good start
August 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Lotta faith for 1 good start Not faith in Santiago, as much as lack of faith in Humber and Hector seems like the best of the trash heap of minor league starters that the Sox have haha
August 12, 201114 yr Mitchell and Thompson are XB-hitting machines who are both hitting .232 on the button and striking out way too much. YIKES. Is it too late to get back on the Silverio bandwagon?
August 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Lotta faith for 1 good start He didn't have any starts while here. He just had the one long mop up session.
August 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) He didn't have any starts while here. He just had the one long mop up session. I meant yesterday's performance. Hasn't he struggled since getting sent back down? I was under the impression that yesterday's outing was his first good outing in AA since coming back down.
August 12, 201114 yr I thought Santiago had at least 2 long mop-up jobs that he did well in... 5.33, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K's
August 12, 201114 yr No one listens to me. Since getting sent down, here are his lines. 2.2 IP, 2 ER. 3.1 IP, 1 ER, 4 BB. 3.2 IP, 4 ER 5 IP, 1 ER 7 IP, 4 ER. Really doesn't look like a guy I'd call ready to jump 2 levels.
August 12, 201114 yr That's the hard part. You have no idea the marching orders that the team left him with. They could have told him work on the fastball or something like that which could be affecting his numbers. They could have changed an arm slot, or a grip or something else that he is working on. Or it could be the layoff.

Nope, it just looks like a guy who is easing back in to a starting job after being relegated to a relief spot where he only appeared twice in 3 weeks or so.

I tend to agree, but Santiago came out of nowhere this year. He made one professional start before this year and wasn't a dominant reliever. You could almost as easily say his first half this year was an aberration and his more recent results are more indicative of the pitcher he is instead of saying the recent starts are the aberration.

August 12, 201114 yr I'll go with the theory that only completely under the radar guys like Buehrle, Boone Logan and Santiago ever rise up out of the system and succeed with the Sox. Hyped prospect, forget it! Unless you're Hudson/Gio and you succeed with another organization.
