November 23, 2008 Carlos Silva was awful this past season (4-15, 6.46 ERA) thanks in part to the fact that he was woefully out of shape, according to Everett Herald. Silva gained roughly 30 pounds over the course of the season so the team has set him up with a personal trainer and nutritional program this off-season. Our View:"Buffalo", an apropos nickname, appears to be on his way to getting back into decent shape, though even if he does that doesn't mean he has any business being on any fantasy squad since he doesn't miss any bats while being beaten around the yard. |
|
September 23, 2008 Carlos Silva has been scratched from his scheduled Thursday start due to his creaky back, according to MLB.com. Our View:Silva has been an utter disaster for the Mariners this season, and is useless to fantasy owners in all formats. Seattle still has three years and $36 million to go on his contract. |
|
September 22, 2008 Carlos Silva's next scheduled start for Thursday is in question as he continues to deal with back problems, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:Silva has not won a game since June 28, and will not be missed by fantasy owners if his season is over. He holds a 6.46 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 28 starts. |
|
September 14, 2008 Carlos Silva has been awful this season with 14 loses, a 6.53 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP, but he is still hoping to finish off the season on a high note, according to the Mariners Official Website. Our View:Silva won three games in April and is 1-14 since. Don't count on any kind of turnaround happening over the next two weeks for the pitcher who has turned out to be the biggest free agent bust of the 2008 season. |
|
September 7, 2008 Carlos Silva was scratched from his start on Sunday, and with his wife expecting a child this week, Silva is leaving to be with her and may miss another start, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:Not that fantasy owners will miss him, because no fantasy owners have the overpaid right-hander on their roster. |
|
September 7, 2008 Silva has been scratched from Sunday's start with a stiff back and will be replaced by Ryan Feierabend, reports the Seattle Times. He injured his back shagging flyballs on Saturday. Our View:It is not known how long Silva will be out, but we sure hope this does not impact your team for more reasons than one. |
|
September 1, 2008 In his first start since being activated from the DL Carlos Silva was typically awful has he allowed 10 hits, walked four batters and permitted six runs in just 4.2 innings on Monday night. Our View:About the only positive on the night was that he didn't suffer his 15th loss of the year as the Mariners offense scored enough to get the win. At this point you would be better off consulting a Ouija board than thinking you can get a solid outing out of Silva. |
|
September 1, 2008 Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva was activated from the disabled list and will start for the team on Monday, according to The Sports Network. Our View:Silva is not anyone to even consider putting on a fantasy team. He has been one of the worst pitchers in the major leagues this season, with a 4-14 record and 6.36 ERA. |
|
August 29, 2008 Carlos Silva is slated to be activated from the DL Monday following his bout with right elbow tendinitis, according to Mariners.com. Manager Jim Riggleman said, "He is 100 percent ready to go." Our View:Silva will start Monday against the Rangers. Silva will be a welcome addition back to Seattle, but not for fantasy teams, as he holds a 4-14 record with a 6.36 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 25 starts. |
|
August 21, 2008 Carlos Silva, who is recovering from right elbow tendinitis, is tentatively slated to return to the Mariners' rotation August 31, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:However, because the Mariners would have to make a roster move to get him eligible, they might wait until September 1 when the rosters expand. |
|
August 16, 2008 The Mariners have placed Carlos Silva on the 15-day disabled list due to tendinitis in his right elbow, the AP reports. Ryan Feierabend has been called up and will start on Sunday. Our View:We have a feeling that the Mariners won't rush Silva back. He has had a nightmare season, and the club might as well get a decent look at a youngster like Feierabend. |
|
August 16, 2008 Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva will likely be put on the disabled list due to "arm fatigue," according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:Silva's malady has likely been deemed "arm fatigue" because they don't have a medical term for horribleness. For $48 million, the Mariners have gotten one win from Silva since April. |
|
August 15, 2008 Carlos Silva had another stinker Friday, allowing nine runs on nine hits and a walk over 3 1/3 innings. Our View:Silva has won one start since April and now has a 6.36 ERA on the year. How's that $48 million investment working out for you, Seattle? |
|
August 9, 2008 Carlos Silva was angry after the Mariners suffered yet another loss, and he lashed out at some unnamed teammates, saying they are more worried about themselves than winning, according to the Seattle Times. "Instead of moving over a runner, they want to get a base hit because of their numbers. Instead of maybe looking for a ground ball, they want to strike him out because of the numbers," Silva said. Our View:The Mariners are hideous, and it's quite possible Silva is telling the truth. But shouldn't a guy making $10 million with a 4-13 record and ERA near 6.00 keep quiet about other people's performances? |
|
August 8, 2008 Carlos Silva lost his 13th game of the year for the Mariners after allowing 11 base runners and five runs (four earned), over six innings against the Rays. Our View:Silva just cannot put anything together this season as his ERA sits at 5.93 after 24 starts. Think the Mariners wish they had their $48 million dollars left? They could have just picked up Livan Hernandez off waivers if they wanted a starter who couldn’t get anyone out. |
|
July 27, 2008 Carlos Silva's next start has been pushed back to Tuesday, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:He was scheduled to start Saturday, but was scratched due to back pain. Silva will be a risky and unfavorable fantasy option for Tuesday, as he is 1-4 over his last six starts. |
|
July 13, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed two runs on six hits, walked one and struck out five in a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday afternoon. Our View:Only the Royals could make Silva look like a compelling fantasy option. The Seattle right-hander entered the game allowing 146 hits in 112 innings, 47 strike outs against 18 walks and a 5.59 ERA. |
|
July 9, 2008 Carlos Silva went the distance on Tuesday but left with the loss to the A's. He lasted eight innings, striking out five, walking none, and scattering seven hits for two earned runs. Our View:Silva has had a mostly forgettable season but has lasted eight innings on three occassions. He is 1-2 in those games. |
|
June 28, 2008 The Mariners will send RHP Carlos Silva to the mound this evening against the San Diego Padres, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Silva's woes continued this past Sunday as the 29-year-old lasted just four innings in an 8-3 loss to Atlanta, surrendering four runs on nine hits, three going for home runs. In nine road starts he has a horrific 1-5 record with an adjoining 6.31 ERA. |
|
June 22, 2008 Seatte RHP Carlos Silva suffered through one of the worst outings of his professional career today, taking the 8-3 loss against Atlanta. Silva lasted just four innings, surrendering four runs (all earned) on four hits with one strikeout and no walks. Our View:Silva surrendered three home runs on the day, giving him five total dingers he has surrendered over his past three starts. |
|
June 16, 2008 Carlos Silva was ejected from his 15th start of the season on Monday night after arguing a safe call at first base in a matchup with the Marlins. Our View:Silva allowed two runs and five hits in 4.2 innings before he was replaced by Ryan Rowland-Smith. |
|
June 16, 2008 Carlos Silva will take the hill tonight when the Mariners host the Marlins, according to MLB.com. Silva is 3-7 with a 5.79 ERA and 1.46 WHIP this season over 84 innings, with only 31 strikeouts. Our View:Silva faced the Marlins last season, while a member of the Twins, and only surrendered one earned run on four hits over seven innings of work. Silva should still be avoided from your lineups for tonight, as he allowed at least five earned runs in five of his last eight starts. |
|
June 10, 2008 Carlos Silva swallowed his seventh straight loss on Tuesday night. The right-hander held the Blue Jays to three runs over seven innings but only received one run of support. Two of the nine hits that Silva allowed were homers. He hasn't picked up a win since April 17. Our View:For once, you can't fully blame this one on Silva. He has been awful more often than not, but this was a decent showing. We'd still avoid him at all costs in fantasy leagues. |
|
June 4, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed five runs on eight hits, walked two and struck out two in a 5-4 loss to the Angels. Our View:Silva actually lowered his ERA with his lackluster performance, from 6.00 to 5.96. Outside of an occasional favorable start in H2H formats, Silva has no fantasy value. |
|
May 24, 2008 Carlos Silva, who was moved up a day in the rotation to accommodate Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, didn't fare well pitching on short rest. The right-hander gave up seven runs (five earned) on 11 hits over six innings. The Yankees knocked Silva around early when Giambi connected on a 1-2 pitch for an opposite-field, three-run homer to left, in the second inning. Cano followed with a double and Silva was fighting for his pitching rights most of the afternoon. Our View:Silva was 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA before a disastrous outing May 4 against the Yankees. Since then he has seen his ERA climb to 5.14 with five poor starts this month. |
|
May 20, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed nine hits and seven runs over four innings in the 12-8 loss to the Tigers on Tuesday night. Our View:Silva hasn't won in his last six starts after beginning the season 3-0. Look up regress in the dictionary, and you will find a picture of Silva. |
|
May 17, 2008 Carlos Silva expects to make his next start on Tuesday, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Our View:He pulled himself out of his last start due to a strained back, but has recovered favorably, and should be safe to return to your lineups. |
|
May 14, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed two runs on five hits, walked none and struck out four as the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 on Wednesday afternoon. Our View:Silva wasn't involved in the decision but was able to pitch well against a good lineup and in a hitter-friendly park. The right-hander worked 6.1 innings before being relieved by Brandon Morrow. |
|
May 14, 2008 Carlos Silva left his start against the Rangers on Wednesday due to mild lower back tightness, the Seattle Times reports. The right-hander had allowed five hits and two runs over 6.1 innings. Our View:What else can go wrong for the Mariners these days? We'll update Silva's status when more is known. |
|
May 10, 2008 Carlos Silva suffered his second loss of the season, a 4-2 defeat to the visiting White Sox on Friday night. Silva allowed four runs on eight hits, walked two and struck out one. Our View:Silva had been performing over his head in early April. His numbers have returned to the earth's atmosphere in his last three starts. Currently the veteran right-hander sports a 4.22 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, close to his career peripherals. |
|
May 4, 2008 Carlos Silva suffered his first loss of the season on Sunday, as the Mariners fell to the Yankees 8-2. Silva got rocked for eight runs on 11 hits over a mere three innings of work, with no walks and one strikeout. Our View:Silva was off to a great start, as he was 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 42 innings prior to today's nightmarish outing. See if you can lure him away for a reduced price following today's game. |
|
April 29, 2008 Carlos Silva was forced out of his last outing due to tightness in his right thigh, but he is good to go to make his start against Cleveland tonight, according to MLB.com. Silva is 3-0 this season, but has struggled against Cleveland in the past. He went 0-3 against the Indians in 2007, and is 4-6 with a 5.30 ERA over his career (17 games) against them. Our View:Despite his track record against Cleveland, Silva should remain in your fantasy lineup tonight, as he also holds a solid 2.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 35 innings this season. |
|
April 24, 2008 Carlos Silva injured his thigh while pitching against Baltimore on Wednesday, but the ailment is not believed to be serious, according to the Seattle Times. He left action in the seventh inning, but stated, "It's not bad. It's hard to come out of the game, but sometimes you have to be smart. It's only my fifth start. There's a long way to go. I will make my next start." Our View:The team is already without Erik Bedard, so the Mariners' can breathe a bit easier since Silva is expected to be fine. He is off to a strong start as well, with a 3-0 record and a 2.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. |
|
April 23, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed two runs over six innings but wasn't involved in the decision against the Orioles. Silva walked two and allowed six hits on the night. Our View:Silva has made five starts this year with four being of the quality variety. He still doesn't strike out anyone, he has 15 in 37 innings, but his ERA is below three and his WHIP is below 1.20, so if you need a hurler who won't kill your ratios and is still on waivers, you might want to look up Silva. |
|
April 23, 2008 Seattle RHP Carlos Silva was taken from Wednesday night's game in the seventh inning with tightness in his right thigh, according to MLB.com. Our View:Silva was looking for his fourth consecutive victory of the season (and it happens to be his 29th birthday), but was forced to leave the game in the midst of a 2-2 tie against Baltimore. |
|
April 23, 2008 Carlos Silva will look to remain unbeaten when he takes the mound at home against Baltimore tonight, according to MLB.com. He is 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA so far, with 11 strikeouts and a 1.14 WHIP. Our View:He will duel with Orioles' righty Daniel Cabrera, who is 1-0 with a 5.16 ERA. Silva should remain in your fantasy lineups, and the veteran's fantasy stock remains on the rise. |
|
April 18, 2008 Carlos Silva followed Felix Hernandez's complete game on Wednesday with a strong seven inning performance leading the Mariners to a 8-1 victory over the Athletics on Thursday night. Silva gave up one run on four hits, walked two and struck out one. Our View:Silva moves to 3-0 on the season. An impressive April for the veteran right-hander. |
|
April 7, 2008 Carlos Silva allowed four runs on Monday to the Orioles in seven innings to pick up a no-decision. Silva actually struck out five on the day, of course he walked no one, and he now owns a 3.21 ERA through his first 13 innings. Silva just doesn't strike enough hitters out to have a lot of value in mixed leagues, but he keeps the ball around the strike zone and gives his team a chance to win most of the time. |
|
April 7, 2008 Carlos Silva had his start pushed up due to Erik Bedard's hip ailment, and he will start on Monday against the Orioles, the Seattle Times notes. Silva will be working on four days' rest. He was originally slated to pitch against the Rays on Tuesday. |
|
April 2, 2008 Carlos Silva impressed in his first start of the '08 campaign,leading the Mariners to a 4-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. Silva threw 116 pitches (68 for strikes) over seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits with three walks and five strike outs on the night. Silva did give up a homer to Ben Broussard in the sixth, but the bulk of the game was nothing short of positive. |
|
March 23, 2008 Carlos Silva, who just a week ago, was lit up for 10 runs and 13 hits in 4.1 innings of work, threw under the watchful eye of Mariners pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre on Sunday. According to the Seattle P-I, the M's pitching coach wanted the right-hander to throw about 100 pitches in about seven innings. It took just five innings for Silva to churn through 107 pitches. Stottlemyre, who took off the Cactus League game against the Angels in Tempe to stay behind in Peoria and watch Silva and Brandon Morrow throw against minor leaguers, called it a "rough outing." Not what you want to hear from a pitcher who owns a 9.20 Cactus League ERA. |
|
March 17, 2008 Carlos Silva got lit up for 10 runs on 13 hits over 4.1 innings of work against Milwaukee, with two strikeouts and one walk. He allowed seven consecutive hits in the fifth inning, all coming on a cutter, according to MLB.com. He is now 0-2 with a 9.20 ERA this spring. |
