“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”

“Kendry?s Morales hit .280 with 4 HR?s and had a top 20 ISO last 30 days of the 2012 season; fences being moved in could turn Safeco into a hitter's park”

“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).”

“He's taking his 14 second-half home runs to Seattle, where he'll get full time at-bats at a Saefco Field with shorter fences. ”

“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.”

“Morales really struggled last season, and going to Seattle is not a magical cure that will help the power come back. Kendrys is still a talented hitter, but that HR potential could drop to 25 being a great season. There are much better players out there.”
