Ervin Santana To AAA, Redux: Tigers 12, Angels 0
Is Santana concerned about a demotion to triple A?No, Mike. Ervin is. It's way past time to stop pretending that this is some anomaly that has nothing whatsoever to do with his home/road splits. His road starts are automatic losses for the Angels. This is unacceptable. Do something, dammit."No," he snapped. "What kind of question is that?"
Manager Mike Scioscia said the Angels' goal remains "to fix him." Scioscia did not directly answer the question of whether that might be better accomplished in triple A, but he indicated Santana would not have all summer to work through his struggles.
"This isn't going to be an instructional league for Ervin," he said.
Santana's next two starts are scheduled at home, and the Angels could take advantage of off days to limit him to one road start in the next 30 days. Scioscia said it would not be practical to constantly juggle the rotation so Santana would not start on the road.
"That's dysfunctional," Scioscia said. "You're going to pitch him once every three weeks? You guys are making this a home-road issue."
