reliever has been used as coach, closer and middle reliever in his short tenure with San Luis
Eduardo Sanchez is sparing when he speaks. The economy of making replica phrases on the mound: effectiveness with fewer pitches. The Aragua to the point bluntly.
"The spring training helped me get a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat could be the competition at a level at the major league prepared me mentally," he said through the telephone wire.
The pitcher made headlines in his debut in the majors, striking out five in two innings. Something that made him only in the eighth reliever who has five strikeouts in his debut since 1919 and the first in the last 13 seasons. He was the sixth that made him scoreless innings and the only one in history to get it in less than three innings, according to Baseball Reference . Before Sanchez, the right Mort Cooper, had starred in 1938 the shortest appearance of his caliber, five guillotined in three chapters, during his graduation with St. Louis.
After his debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 13, Sanchez continued their domination and in his next four starts Holds got three, kept its effectiveness 0.00 in 7.0 innings with two hits, one walk and 12 strikeouts. During that time only three rivals hit on account of 3-2. None managed to get on base. As the only passport gave it to Joey Votto, Cincinnati, who was passing the fourth ball count 3-1. Few complications. All, apparently, very easy.
"I did not know those statistics, but I think it's as simple as it looks. It is simply the result of my work. I have been preparing in recent years for this moment, "he said.
The Cardinals did not need to sift through too much in their farm system when they needed three weeks ago fresh arms for the bullpen.
consistency and durability of Sanchez, who ranked seventh among the top prospects for San Luis in the Baseball America list , made him an alternative to overcome the absence of Bryan Augenstein and relievers Brian Tallet, both on the disabled list.
Sanchez began its dizzying ascent since 2009, when in 60 appearances exhibited 2.28 ERA and a WHIP of 0.92, between branches A and Double A red bird. In July 2010 he attended the Futures Game, finished the season in triple A and in November was protected in the 40-man roster.
The combination of his powerful fastball 96-97 mph sinking at the plate, and a sharp slider that moves away from right-handed hitters, have been their weapons to achieve an average life of 9.9 guillotined by nine innings.
On Wednesday, Mitchell Boggs, who has been taking care of the closure of San Luis, after the problems of Ryan Franklin was not available and Sanchez got the first save of his career, but allowed three hits and two runs before retiring Hunter Pence for the final out of the Cardinals win, 6-5 against the Astros.
were the first entries in the account of Sanchez since the start of the season. In Memphis, in triple A, had retired to the nine men he faced, with three strikeouts.
On Friday, regained the rhythm and after completing two scoreless innings, got the win in St. Louis, 5-3, over Atlanta in 11 innings.
"pitching coach, Dave Duncan, gave me important advice: No matter what happens, the bullpen should always control the emotions and recover from any failure. It's what the job requires. A reliever should be ready, regardless of the scoreboard. Exit (the mound), attack the hitters and stop them from achieving placed in circulation. "
Mexican Fernando Sanchez and Salas, who was also uploaded by San Luis, competed for the last two posts in the bullpen during spring training, but ultimately the vacancies were filled by experienced reliever Miguel Batista and long Augenstein . The coaching staff felt that the rookie had to keep learning in the minors, only that the circumstances accelerated promotion in the first month of the campaign.
According to reports from scouts, Sanchez must develop a third shipment to dominate lefties, while it needs to be more consistent with his control and refine their ability to complete when placed in two-strike hitters. In Venezuela, Aragua Tigers, had many problems, that somehow stripped the points on which to focus for further growth as a pitcher.
"I've been working on the change since he was with Memphis last year," said Maracay. "The idea is to challenge hitters with something unexpected. I am gaining confidence and I've been using that pitch more often. I will soon be part of my repertoire. That extra pitching can take us out of trouble. "
So far, lefties will link 071 (14-1) and the rights 222 (18-4), largely thanks to the lethal straight-slider combination.
"is one of the best I've seen in any of our pitchers, since I came to this team (in 2003)," said Cy Young Award winner, Chris Carpenter, in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Certainly we have been impressed," manager Tony La Russa said.
At 22 years old can still keep making adjustments to establish itself as a set-up high impact or a reliable closer in the majors.
"No matter what role I use, I'm here to do the work assigned me. I always consider myself a pitcher who can go out late in the game, seventh, eighth or ninth inning. This is what I do. "
simple philosophy
Eduardo Sanchez is not complicated. When on the mound the plan is simple: attack early the batter and then off a few pitches.
"I teach the straight and then take them out of balance with the slider. The important thing is to locate the pitches in the lower area. No hassle, while fewer shots do better. I have no reason to change the routine work that was in the minors. I prepare the same every day. "
the footsteps of "Kid"
Eduardo Sanchez's performance in his first five outings (7.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 12 K, 0.00 EFE) was very similar to what did Francisco Rodriguez (5.2 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 13 K, 0.00 EFE) for its five regular round relay in 2002, when he broke into the majors with Anaheim. Sánchez
aspires to follow in the footsteps of "Kid" on the ground. "Since I started to throw me compared to him. Hopefully and can have a career like hers. Every time I give the ball act with the same intensity. It's what you should do a reliever. "
The figure

I appreciate the opportunity they gave me to continue to grow as a coach for three years, "said infield instructor for the San Francisco Giants, from Arizona.

Came the inspiration ... was sleepy, but I could not sleep, and I think it's because I was about to feel the words I share below.
I say that in a critical situation in which you want to make decisions that will give an important turning point in life (and sometimes without it having to be so important to one), should listen to the heart:
What do you REALLY want?
Willing is not so much "mind", but in the heart.
Whatever one decides, has implications for the present, but more in the future. And affect also to others. It is therefore important to use the mind as a valuable tool for reflection, to analyze the heart.
When we connect with the heart, sorry, we have feelings (intuition) that we say what we do meets and what not, which is in harmony with our principles and values, and what does not.
may be that our beliefs and personal judgments (perhaps accurate, perhaps misguided) move us to make a decision, but these are more in mind than the heart. For this we should question our beliefs and judgments.
more changes will cause the decision will take more time to decide the analysis is to make sure that's what you really want, and take the consequences.
Using creativity, they will find many alternatives. This is a mental skill that combines pleasure and joy that flow from the heart.
Finally, is from the Love (and not from the Ego), where they make the best decisions.
(In another moment of inspiration will detail the reasons for this assertion or belief).

A journalist's work on Joe Strauss Eduardo Sanchez appears among the hot topics stltoday.com site, the most visited information portal in St. Louis. Since Wednesday, when it debuted in the big leagues, the right of Maracay has become an event within the Cardinals organization.
The recruit struck out five batters in two scoreless innings during his debut on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. Something had happened in 1919 only once and went back to 1960 (Chuck Estrada, Baltimore). On Saturday, Sanchez continued his impressive pace and guillotined three in one chapter against the Dodgers, to add eight in three innings. Unprecedented action in higher for relievers in each of his first two outings have not worked more than two innings, according to Baseball Reference.
Until Saturday, the 11 rivals who had faced just Gerardo Sánchez Parra (grounder for the second), Justin Upton (double) and Marcus Thames (single), managed to make contact and put the ball in play.
A domain that has fired up the pitching coach of the Cardinals, Dave Duncan, as stltoday.com. "He threw 94-95 mph. His pitching was broken there. He threw strikes. You can not ask more. "
nearly six years ago, did not accompany the fanfare Sanchez. In fact few organizations were interested in signing him.
"heard his name for the first time, thanks to Luis Garcia, one of those independent scouts always try to convince you that they have a good player. I was about to turn 16 years old, measuring 5'10 (1.78 meters) tall and very skinny. I asked if he was left handed. When I said no, I said, 'then it must have very good arm. If so I do not care if one of the dwarfs in Snow White '. " Sánchez
placed his fastball between 85-86 mph and 15 days after the first tryout was prowling the 88-89 mph.
"His arm is the one who always wants to see a scout. I was impressed with the flow, so the ball left his hand. His fastball was explosive and although it had a broken pitching set, I noticed a good feeling with the curve and change. At that age with a 75-76 mph curve could project what is now called slurve. Truly remarkable. Was a potential major league arm, a body that at first did not have that projection. But remember that when I recommended your firm, I wrote in my report that reminded me of a young Francisco Rodriguez. Then recruited by an acceptable bond and there's the guy. "
In 32 years of experience as a scout, Brito led Minnesota to four Venezuelan pitchers who came to the elderly (German Gonzalez, Richard Garces, Juan Carlos Pulido and Juan Rincon), but Sanchez is the first thing you do in 11 years with St. Louis. "I always had good vision with the pitchers," he smiled. "Sanchez will be a long time back with the Cardinals."
Law, who signed for less than $ 50 000, is also the first product of the program of the organization in the Caribbean, since Jeff Luhnow international department was in charge of search and selection of talent in 2004.
"Always dream with the time and we wondered who would be the first. Now we have the answer, "said Luhnow to stltoday.com.
Sanchez, 22 years old, began his impressive rise in 2009, first as a closer at Double A and then as a setup in triple A. He noted incipient broken pitching Brito as a teenager is now a sharp slider that combined with his powerful straight rights to get rid of that last year he hit just .157 in the league of the Gulf Coast.

Flores injured his right shoulder on May 9, 2009, when he was beaten by a foul ball outfielder Chris Young of the Diamondbacks, and although he could finish the match, the next day was placed on disabled list until 4 September. His return was limited to two appearances as a pinch hitter. The discomfort continued and, after a thorough evaluation underwent surgery performed by noted specialist James Andrews. He spent all of 2010 rehabbing, but started playing in October in the Instructional League and, later, with Magellan.
"During spring training I knew to get off was an option for the Nationals. Not receiving the opportunities necessary to earn the job, but I'm not complaining. The competition was good and very healthy with Ivan (Rodriguez) and Wilson (Ramos), two good receivers. So I was not surprised when they told me to start in Triple A. Was recovered and came from a good campaign in Venezuela (.322, 2 homers and 16 produced, in 25 games). But that was not a guarantee for the team. Minor league would be able to show that my shoulder was recovered, the time it would take up with my game. It was a logical move. "
Waiting for Flores just took 13 shifts, spread over four games with the Syracuse Chiefs. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman suffered a stomach muscle injury, it will idle at least 15 days, and Washington came to Venezuela to fill the vacancy in the roster of 25.
"I want to prove I'm the same player as before the injury, I have quality to be on the field every day."
After being taken in the Rule 5 draft in 2007, Flores took over ownership behind the plate in 2008 and the club finished second in RBIs (59), while in 2009 left an OPS of .905 in his first 26 challenges .
"Last night (Monday) after the game (of Syracuse), manager Randy Knorr, called me into his office and told me I would go up. I received the news calmly, with much more calm when I knew I was going to the majors for the first time. For the experience and security I have in myself, I feel that now I am a better player, able to do what I propose and I regain the form that I had. Of course, happiness is back there. I called my family and held there too. "
Future "out of Washington?
Half of the training, the Washington media echoed some rumors that the possible departure of the Nationals' Jesus Flores. With Wilson Ramos, as the figure emerging at catcher, and veteran Ivan Rodriguez, the position was covered.
"Well, it's something we have no control," said Flores. "It's a team decision. Although, apparently, was just a rumor. In any case, you can not let something get to you. Always keep the focus on work, what you're doing. "
The situation took a 180 degree turn near the end of the spring, when flowers had been assigned to the minors. Ramos would start the season sharing the home to take title to Rodriguez, who is in the final year of the contract he signed in 2010. The road seems cleared for carupanero, perhaps as a second Palm, if before the end of the campaign Pudge is sent to another computer.
"It's difficult to predict. Wilson can be a starter in any team. I must keep working and give my best whenever I get a chance to play. Because of my age and experience, I think I can play again every day. I keep working to be number one. This is what I aspire. "
