carlos silva

Carlos Silva (born April 23, 1979 in Bolvar State, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher who plays for the Minnesota Twins (2004-present). Previously, he played for the Philadelphia Phillies (2002-03). Silva throws a mid-nineties fastball, a breaking ball and a changeup. He was acquired from Philadelphia in exchange for Eric Milton, who was a staple of the Minnesota rotation since 1998. With the Twins, Silva made a successful conversion from reliever to starter, for one of the biggest surprises in the 2004 season. He posted a 14-8 mark in 203 innings pitched and finished second in the rotation behind Cy Young winner Johan Santana. In a three year career, Silva has a 22-9 record with 165 strikeouts and a 4.04 ERA in 374.1 innings.
