Young Pitcher Question

PrintNow that we are on the topic of young pitchers, I had a question. What do people think of Ervin Santana. Does any of you really think he could be an ace or do you think he wil settle into a number 3 or 4, possibly number 2 type pitcher. I know his numbers were quite pedestrian this year record was 12-8, 4.65 era, 99/47 k/bb. But the guy was all of 22 years old and he won some big games for the Angels down the stretch and in the playoffs. I would like your guys opinions.

Santana
His jump to the majors saw his K/9 drop to 6.67, which is inadequate when combined with a 1.39 WHIP. Also disturbing, Santana gave up 17 HR in 133.2 IP with a 0.78 G/F ratio. Those flyball tendencies need to improve.
I think he has a good chance to succeed, but I would expect some growing pains over the next couple seasons.
