		Esteban Antonio Loaiza [lo-EYE-za] (born December 31, 1971 in Tijuana, Mexico) is a Major League Baseball starting pitcher who plays for the Oakland Athletics.

		"Esteban Loaiza has proven he is capable of pitching 180 innings, and although he's coming off a sub par year by his own standards, we believe that he is well worth the risk," said Nationals general manager Jim Bowden.
		Loaiza went a combined 10-7 with a 5.70 earned-run average for the White Sox and New York Yankees last season.
		Loaiza is 100-89 with a 4.70 ERA in 10 seasons with Pittsburgh, Texas, Toronto, the White Sox and the Yankees.

		Loaiza also realized that he was running out of options as teams were close to filling up their rosters.
		Loaiza, 34, joins Livan Hernandez, Tony Armas Jr., Tomo Ohka and Zach Day in Washington's rotation, and manager Frank Robinson is hoping that Loaiza can be close to the pitcher that he was for the White Sox in 2003.
		Loaiza said his arm was fatigued by the All-Star break, but after the Yankees put him in the bullpen, Loaiza rebounded in the postseason, giving up one run in 8 2/3 innings.

		Loaiza, who allowed four earned runs and seven hits in 4-1/3 innings, did not lift his head up again until he was on his way back to the dugout when Torre removed him.

		Loaiza, who was strong the first time through the Angels' order only to fade fast his second time through, may have not only pitched himself out of the rotation, but quite possibly could have pitched himself out of pinstripes.
		Loaiza, who has been with the Yankees since Aug. 2, is already trade bait as he entered his fourth start 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA, having pitched 17 1/3 innings and given up 13 earned runs, 23 hits and nine walks.
		Loaiza was ahead of Jose Guillen 0-and-2, but caught too much of the plate with his next pitch, which Guillen hit over Bernie Williams' head and into the Yankee bullpen to make it 2-1.

		Familiarity with Loaiza's cutter, a new addition to his arsenal last year that seemed to mesmerize the American League, could be one explanation for his sluggish early start.
		Opposing hitters are looking for it early in the count, according to Loaiza, or when he falls behind in an at-bat.
		Sandy Alomar Jr., the veteran White Sox catcher who hit against Loaiza before catching him, mentioned that Loaiza is a vastly different pitcher from the former.500 hurler who could rush a fastball to the plate at 95 or 96 mph.

	Esteban Loaiza, the 2004 reverse sleeper...
		Ok, let me preface this by saying I was choked to watch Loaiza pitch the way he did in 2003 after watching him drag his ass to a 25-28 record with a +5.00 ERA in two and a half years in Toronto.
		Loaiza's career path shows nothing to indicate that he'll be nearly as successful as he was last season.
		Loaiza's biggest contribution to this year's fantasy draft is when he is autodrafted in the third round by someone who didn't show up or pre-draft, letting a legit third rounder drop to the fourth round for those of us who are present.

		Loaiza arrived in camp last February with the cutter, which he learned late last season from Blue Jays pitching coach Gil Patterson, and more willingness to experiment with a changeup.
		Loaiza, with permission from Blue Jays manager Buck Martinez, flew back between some games to see her, but he missed much of his son's early life and spent hours fretting about Esposito's condition when he was on the road.
		When Loaiza was there, Esposito said, he "took over as my physical therapist," doing the tedious exercises with her and assuring her of his commitment.

	May 26, 2003 - Examining Esteban
		Loaiza, named American League pitcher of the month for his stellar April (5-0, 1.25), credits much of his success to a shiny new cut fastball that he's added to his repertoire in the last year.
		Certainly, the decision to allow Loaiza to walk and replace him with Sturtze looks like a bad one at this point, but a closer look at their respective numbers suggests that both pitchers could well be headed for a reversal in fortunes.
		That's awfully impressive, and that's what Esteban Loaiza has done in his first month of the last four seasons: April 2000, 2001, 2003 and May 2002 (he was on the DL that April).

		Loaiza, sporting his customary goatee, walked into the clubhouse carrying a White Sox equipment bag, as he settled in to the same locker occupied by Jose Contreras as recently as Saturday.
		Less than 30 minutes later, Loaiza was sitting in the auxiliary clubhouse in full Yankee gear, meeting the New York media for the first time since he was traded by Chicago in exchange for Contreras and cash.
		Loaiza, who is 9-5 with a 4.86 ERA in 21 starts for Chicago this season, said he was surprised by the trade, though he also said that some part of him always thought he would end up in the Bronx at some point.

		The change in Loaiza was reflected in his 21-9 record and 2.90 ERA, but perhaps more telling was this: Not until last year had Loaiza given up fewer hits than the number of innings he pitched.
		Loaiza, whose importance to the Sox has grown greater with the departure of Colon to the Angels through free agency, will say only that he continued to use his improved work ethic to get in even better condition over the winter.
		Loaiza endeared himself to at least one teammate at the outset of camp, making what new manager Ozzie Guillen called a "class and unselfish" gesture.

		Loaiza was then led to Joe Torre's office -- while clubhouse staff hung up Yankee clothing in his locker -- where he was asked to shave.
		Loaiza was surprised to be traded to New York, despite being aware that the Yankees were interested in him for some time, even back in 2000 when he was with Texas.
		Loaiza said he got a phone call from Chicago general manager Kenny Williams -- who had been in previous discussions with New York GM Brian Cashman -- while he was on the way to the ballpark with the White Sox on Saturday.

		Esteban Loaiza, who came out of nowhere to post a tremendous season in 2003, Loaiza quickly corrected himself, and returned back to his worse-than-league-average regular numbers last season.
		Esteban now finds himself in the role Shawn Estes and Rick Helling so admirably filled for many seasons, as a pitcher who will always find a job in the hopes that he can return to his one great season.
		Loaiza, Ohka and Hernandez all have struggled out of the gate for various reasons, and the Mets offense should by all means be able to take advantage of this.
