Angels Official Website: Santiago wants another chance to start


Recommended Posts

I know we're fickle around here, but giving up on a guy with a 3.66 ERA in 34 major league starts in favor of a guy with 2 major league starts makes me scratch my head.  Santiago's peripherals definitely indicate some regression on that ERA, but he deserves a lot more leeway before declaring him unfit to start.  

No, we can't afford more than an 0 and 4 leeway. Giving leeway to Blanton didn't work out so well, so why would the team do that again? Hector is going to have to fight and claw his way back to the 5th rotation spot. He can fill a valuable and important need as the long man out of the pen. Our team really needs that anyway, and there is no shame at all in filling that spot.

Hector is a young guy with lots of controlable years left. To think that he was going to breeze through his first year starting without any kind of a learning curve is moronic. Richards had issues starting and moved from bullpen to rotation plenty of times even Skaggs was a bust starting last year in AZ. Everyone knew fans were going to have to be patient with a very very young back end of the rotation when the season started...gues thats easier said than done. No doubt in my mind Hector will get another shot in the rotation.

"Poor man's Dillon Gee" only pitched 5 innings 57 pitches.. Hector can do that.
