“Santana is much more valuable in leagues that value OBP, as he doesn't carry an impressive AVG. Tough to argue with anything else, though.”

 

“got it together in the 2nd half of the season hitting .278 with 13 HR”

“fences being moved in should help his power numbers”

“We're not ready to give up on Santana, who showed what he's capable of in the second half of last season (13 HR, 46 RBI).”

 

“Carlos started last season out ICE COLD before getting hot in the end to save himself with 18 HRs and nearly 80 RBIs. The batting average was horrible at .252, and if there is a chance to grab Santana as a lower valued player. Now would be that time. 30 HRs is easily in his future every year.”

“Jesus is easily one of the brightest power hitting catchers in the game. But playing in Seattle definitely lessens what could be ELITE value. Jesus should be taken as a player that can easily approach 20 HRs now that Jaso and Olivo are out of town.”
