“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.”

“Teixeira is simply not the .300 hitter he once was. That said, he's still got major power and lots of runners to bat in with the Yankees.”

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

 

“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.”

“Tex Mex was never himself last season. He had a terrible cold throughout the start of the year, he was banged up and missed nearly 40 games. Despite all this, he still managed 24 HR and 83 RBI, and there is no reason to think he will not get 30/100 in that ballpark as long as he remains healthy.”
