-- Reader Steve , you better weigh in on this column and thank me for telling you to spot start Jonathan Sanchez tonight. Five baserunners, ten Ks, one ER? Who the hell is this guy? He now has 36 Ks in 30 innings. This guy's minor league numbers look pretty damn good: 333 Ks in 252.1 innings? 3.42 ERA and 1.16 WHIP? And he's a lefty?
