Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thought for sure it would be Septimo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 They better move him in to the rotation at AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I wonder if that means Santiago will be stretched out to be a starter down in AAA. Leyson Septimo, your table is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hopefully that means they are making him a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGoSox2k2 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 this better mean they are putting him in the rotation in AAA, I still see some promising upside in Hector and want him starting. If he goes into the bullpen that just does not make sense to me bc he should be here over septimo if hector is pitching out of the pen at charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have the feeling Septimo will be back in Charlotte in the next couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 1.50 ERA in July. .108 BAA, but did give up 8 walks in 12IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Septimo is out of options I believe. How could he be out of options if he started the year in the minors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in Charlotte earlier, that should be the same option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Septimo kept up to face some of the tough lefties on the Twins, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura had more confidence in him, that's for sure. Santiago was moping up. I do think KW is looking to upgrade that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) How could he be out of options if he started the year in the minors? If he were out of options, and the Sox try to send him down again, he would have to clear waivers. It could very well be at the beginning of the year that he cleared waivers as no one was willing to carry him on their 25 man roster.

Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 They better be making him a starter. Santiago is far better then Septimo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Septimo was signed to a minor league deal. If they want to send him down----its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 This doesnt bother me. The guy is mr two outs, two walks, mystery result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I was a bit surprised by this move at this time. Earlier in the season I thought Hector should be sent down as he was not performing well. However, he had sort of righted the ship. Anyway, I tend to agree with others here that Santigao needs to be stretched out to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think this is the correct move. Give Septimo an extended look as the second lefty. Stretch out Santiago in AAA as insurance for the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balfanman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It may work out that Santiago could be stretched out enough in September that he could cover a few starts for the Sox while getting Sale, Peavy, & Quintana extra rest for the playoffs.

JPN366 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Charlotte needs Santiago in their rotation. Septimo was originally acquired off waivers from Arizona. They designated him for assignment last summer. Not sure about his options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Probably the best move. Septimo is an actual LOOGY, which they needed. Santiago will likely be a starter in the future, and had control issues. QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) Charlotte needs Santiago in their rotation. Septimo was originally acquired off waivers from Arizona. They designated him for assignment last summer. Not sure about his options. What Charlotte needs in their rotation is pretty much irrelevant. QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:40 PM) Septimo is out of options I believe. This was suggested a while back, and pretty well debunked. He's never seen the majors, and never seen the 25-man before this year. and the option "Clock" in terms of service time wasn't turned on yet either. This will be his first option year, unless someone can show me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Septimo was added to Arizona's 40 man roster on 11/20/2008, so this should be his fourth season on a 40 man roster unless we took him off it at some point last year. Since he's also spent 20 days in the minors in each of these seasons, he should have burnt his third and final option at the end of last season. Now, there is a chance he meets the criteria for a fourth option, but that doesn't appear to be the case from what I can tell. Also, I'm not sure what happens with his option status since technically we resigned him this offseason as a minor league free agent. My guess is he out of options.
