He ALREADY has 105 k's on the season. How good do you think this guy is going to be before he hangs it up in like 15 years?

he's already had one elbow injury, it wouldn't surprise me if he had another.

oh yeah, and it was against the worst hitting team in the al

yeah he really sucks against all the other AL teams.

he's had one game of more than 8 ks against a good hitting team this year.

okay, debbie downer.


Let's go through that again: 105 K's on the season. It's June 2nd. Furthermore, every pitcher has injuries, and his injury was apparently so severe, that when he came back from it and worked out a few kinks, he was almost unhittable for about 3 months.

in a 2 month stretch last year he had 113 k's

Okay, so in light of that statistic, and the 105 K's in the two month stretch of this year, tell me, how good do you think he's going to be?

i think he's as good right now as he'll ever be. i also don't see him lasting anywhere close to 15 years, as you said in your 1st post in this thread.

yeah man he really does suck. I'm sure you would hate to see him on the Rangers.

Santana will win the AL Cy Young again this year

Kenny Rogers is better because of a lower ERA Mitch might tell you later in this thread.

haha, yep. no luck at all involved in that.

none at all

why did this get turned into a rangers thread anyway?

You pooh-poohed Santana and someone questioned whether or not you'd want him in Texas.

yes, because it's completely normal for a guy who strikes out almost four times more guys and walks half as many guys as someone else to give up twice as many runs.

it's not normal, which is why what rogers is doing is so extraordinary

*lucky.

No one with those kinds of numbers can maintain that.

dude, of course he isn't going to finish the season with an era of 1.65. duh.

he's having a great season so far, though.
