I guess we're hoping the last 2 years have been flukes. Whatever he was doing in 2007, go back to that

Well...

2010: 8.10 K/9, 2.70 BB/9 vs LHP.

He sucked against them in 09 all around, and they are hitting him really hard in 10, but his peripherals are ok (I guess) against LHP.

He's gonna be here for like 3 games and he'll pitch once and hit a batter or something.

Marlins Baseball President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest said the Marlins will "ease Sanabia in." "We're not going to throw him right into the fire," Beinfest said. "We'll try to stay away from back to back [outings], which is important. He's a strike thrower, which is important given the way we've been challenged out there throwing strikes. He's a winner and a good kid, we like his stuff and we'll give him a shot."

New relievers Sanabia, Houser play meet and greet

At least they are being careful with him. I feel better about this now.
