“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”

“dude looks like a lumberjack and has a batting stance like a ballerina, but it works WHEN he can stay healthy”

“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.”

“Youkilis should thrive in his first season as a Yankee. Kevin exploded after he left the Red Sox for the White Sox, and the Yankees will be looking for Kevin to help replace A-Roid as quickly as he can. The 20 HR/100 RBI season could be in the works, and I would draft him with that mindset as a real possibility.”
