In your option who has the best fans in all of baseball?
He was too wild. Check out this site to read more about his demotion, the Marlins and MLB. http://www.factipedia.com/sportsblogs/ml...Because they rushed him to the majors last year, where he pitched way over his head. This year he has been as unlucky as he was lucky last year, and he is walking too many batters. The Florida Marlins do not have much of a chance to make the playoffs so they are better served having him improve in the minors instead of using up major league service time for a non playoff team.

"He wasn't the same as he was last year," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We need to get him straightened out for his own good and also for the team."Sanchez, 23, is 2-1 with a 4.80 ERA. He has pitched 30 innings in six starts and has posted 19 walks and 14 strikeouts. He allowed seven hits, three runs and four walks in just 31/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Mets in New York. He went 10-3 with a 2.83 ERA and finished ninth in NL Rookie of the Year voting last season.
Gonzalez and pitching coach Rick Kranitz said Sanchez was unhappy with the team's decision.
"He can feel sorry for himself and that's fine," Gonzalez said. "Do that for a couple of hours."
Sanchez has several issues, Kranitz said. They include the command of his pitches, his work tempo, a tendency to become too predictable, an inability to adjust to hitters, and a slight mechanical flaw that keeps him from throwing on a downhill plane, like he did last season.
"He's throwing too many pitches," Kranitz said. "He'll get ahead 0-2, and then it's 3-2. And he's thrown blocks of four balls in a row."

You can have a great player, but if he doesn't bunt when the coach tells him then he needs an attitude adjustment. If a Pitcher throws a fastball when the catcher signals for a curve ball, then he is not a good pitcher. Many players have been sent back to the minors to teach them that ''they'' are not more important than the team. The team first then the player.More Questions & Answers...
