The Ginger Kid Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's been terrific, I hope he can keep it up. It really is an interesting role he's playing. Now if they can figure out a way to get the real Veal back on track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's proven he can get through the lineup once. I have my doubts about more. This is cool though, the "modern bullpen" is so dumb and hierarchical, it's good to see it being used to solve problems creatively as they come up.

kevo880 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 4m In 9.2 innings, #WhiteSox reliever Hector Santiago has given up 1 measly hit. Opponents are batting .037, tops in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If Axelrod continues to do okay, I'll be all hunky dory about Hector dominating in strange bullpen usage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Santiago has really good stuff for a guy that nobody outside of White Sox fans ever heard of. Command can be iffy but he should have a long career in the majors as a back of the rotation guy or a reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 His upside is Johan Santana-Lite. His downside is back end starter/long man/middle reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) WTF? Yeah, that is just homerism right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I even wanted to stretch it, Santiago has the repertoire to become a very deadly pitcher if he can keep improving his control, but there's zero reason to compare him to Johan. Johan had a better fastball and one of the best changeups we've ever seen, Santiago is going to be more of a breaking ball/screwball pitcher for the offspeed stuff.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've read two threads this morning and apparently we have two mini, potential Johan clones? This is still soxtalk right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
