Santillan throws too many sliders out of the zone because he's afraid of getting hit.
Abbott doesn't have this problem because he expects to get hit, that's because one breaking pitch is a few MPH different than the last one. That's the difference between a pitcher and a thrower. Santillan is still in that "I'll just blow it by you" mentality when he doesn't really have 'put away' stuff. He should be going at 90-95% effort most of the time then crank it up when you need it.
