Anthony Santander has quiet day in Orioles' heavy loss
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 8:37am EDT
Anthony Santander went 1-for-2 with a walk in the Orioles' 19-8 defeat to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite reaching base twice, Santander couldn't contribute to the scoring in a game where the Orioles' pitching faltered massively. With a season batting average of .233 and a modest on-base percentage, his performance this year has been underwhelming, especially considering his power potential evidenced by 22 homers. His lack of stolen bases and high strikeout rate further limit his fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should view Santander as a situational player, best utilized when facing favorable pitching matchups or in leagues that heavily reward power numbers.
