Right-hander Ervin Santana and the Los Angeles Angels agreed to a four-year contract worth about $30 million on Saturday, a day after their scheduled arbitration hearing was postponed.
Santana's deal includes a $13 million club option for 2013 with a $1 million buyout. If the option is exercised, the agreement would be worth $42 million over five seasons.
Ervin had a career year last year, and he is only 26. Last year he went 16-7 with a 3.49 ERA for the AL West champion Angels last year, striking out a career-high 214 in 219 innings with only 47 walks. Which is great, however, I don't buy it. I see him like a Fausto Carmona type of player. I believe he will continue to have down years, and then incredible years to give you a glimmer of hope. Fantasy wise, I would stay away from him.
