Seattle's 21-year-old Taijuan Walker comes highly touted and with good reason. He looked poised in his Major League debut last week allowing only an unearned run and two hits in five innings while getting the win, even though it was against the Astros. 
Still, the kid throws his fastball consistently between 94-96 MPH, has a great 92 MPH cutter and has an above average curveball, Scouts gush at how much his control and mechanics have improved just since last year, and his athleticism was never an issue.
Ervin Santana has had a nice bounce=back season for the Royals after struggling with the Angels the last few years and he deserves better than an 8-8 record with his 3.19 ERA and nice 1.14 WHIP. His 3.59 xFIP and 2.8 WAR are fine too and he has held his form well, allowing two earned runs or less in three of his last four starts. It helps to face a Seattle team batting .214 the last 10 games. The Royals are hitting well but their unfamiliarity with a potential future stud like Walker hurts.

I don't have the power to re-instate anyone, edit other people's posts or give infractions.
And even this game was only done in by one inning by Royals.
