A change in the odds

The other day, I posted this:

Gregg: 2 to 1
Bootcheck: 6 to 1
Woods: 10 to 1
Four man: 50 to 1
Santana: 200 to 1

Those were the odds I gave each of the candidates to replace Escobar in the rotation during his stint on the DL. Those odds are changing radically. The news odds look like this:

Santana: 3 to 1
Gregg: 5 to 1
Bootcheck: 15 to 1
Woods: 50 to 1
Four man: 200 to 1

Why? Just got this bit of news from Kevin Goldstein's excellent Prospect Report, available at Baseball America

LAA E.Santana 2.1 IP, 0 h, 0 r, 1 bb, 3 k - held to 30 pitches, possible spot start for Angels coming

Looks like a pretty good sign. It's either gotta be that, or another injury concern.
