Gander,what is your opinion of what Santana will do starting for the Halos tonight? Halos have disrespected the kid somewhat by offering him up in trade offers.The politically correct response would be that he is a professional,and it will have no effect.He could feel negative about the organization being willing to part with him(I don't think it's going to be this response.)The hoped for response is one of relief,and excitement about being with his teammates the rest of the year.It could also have woke him up to the fact that he needs to concentrate harder after the 5th inning.He had great stuff in his last start,but hung a couple pitches,and didn't get away with it.Hard to be all that critical of that performance though(he didn't get much support in that game.)I hope he matures as much as Lackey has,and can use Lackey's example of what it really takes to be a top competitor.HAS COOLED OFF HERE.
