2 +, actually, and he certainly gets consideration for potential here. I think a lot of people (myself included) anticipate several more years like 2008 for him, considering he’s only 25.
he’ll overtake someone like Escobar eventually, but he needs to do a bit more before he’s ahead. One bed-shitting year, one ace year. One ALDS salvaging to Escobar’s ALCS salvaging that was then taken from him when Eddings decided Escobar’s salvage job would require four outs instead of three.
After winning game 1 and being in great position to potentially win game 2, I was starting to believe during game 2 that the Angels once again were going to go to the World Series. Then somehow AJ P was able to convince the ump that the ball was dropped, make his way to 1st, and we know the rest…..
Looking at that Sox team the baseball Gods were really with them. This was evident not only in the AJ play, but with pitchers like Garland and Conteras who went from below average or mediocre pitchers prior to 2005 to All star caliber during the 2005 regular season then on to dominant, number one aces in the 2005 playoffs and WS.
Tough choice
They’re all good.

Surprised to see Santana doing so well
Not unhappy. Just surprised.
ArkAngel - December 16, 2008
I agree.
I suppose one good year goes a long way with some people.

or 2
that and bailing Colon out in the ’05 playoffs
halofan4life - December 16, 2008
exactly. one year as an ace, one other dominant year and one ALDS salvaging.

Okay...
But I’m still voting for Donnie Moore.

I'm a sucker for those guys who struggle and come back as nails.
It’s like an underdog, except in your miinnnndddd.
teopeht - December 16, 2008
he certainly deserves to be somewhere around here on the list
i think this is just a big case of “what have you done for me lately.”

I was a big dan of early 2000's Donnelly

I think it's too early on Santana

I still will never forget that 2005 ALCS
