I touched on the walks later in the story. He has to work on his wildness, to be sure. Such results won't always arise when he walks the world. But still, his efforts did produce five innings and two runs allowed. As per the closer situation, are you sure you'd want Sanchez instead of Wilson? With Wilson, when he gets runners on, it doesn't seem to faze him in the slightest. With Sanchez, he'll at times lose it when he doesn't get his ball/strike call. I think I'd rather have one with the mental mindset of Wilson than Sanchez. However, others might disagree. Would love to hear more opinions with regards.

"Lucky" would be a better description. Sanchez is extremely consistent in his performances, and they involve lots of walks. Most pitchers who do this don't get much fielding or hitting support...It's just hard to concentrate when you're playing behind a guy like that. Sanchez is headed for the bullpen, imho. He'd be a better closer than the Mullet, who should be traded for Nick Johnson. “hard luck loser”?
