Yes, Silva's results were bad this year, and good last year, but even last year, we knew he was playing with fire. Even when he was successful, he wasn't that good at getting the ball on the ground. So even when he's going well, he's inviting disaster by putting the ball in play that much.<BR/><BR/>If he had a tantalizing variety of pitches, or posted strong peripherals in the face of poor results this year, I'd be a lot more optimistic. But all Silva has is one pitch. It worked pretty well in 2004, great in 2005, and awful in 2006. I think he'll wind up as a below-league average starter next year, but probably not the disaster he was this year. At least, I hope not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1162340659325599352006-10-31T18:24:00.000-06:002006-10-31T18:24:00.000-06:00Count me disappointed.

So we pick up his option? I hope they prove me wrong.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914413255858545990noreply@blogger.com
