PTBNL (Pence)
« on: August 15, 2011, 12:46:24 pm »
Probably Cabrera'd again (a little gun-shy as I'm still reeling from a multi-Cabrera weekend...). Anyway... the PTBNL in the Pence trade has been named: OF Domingo Santana.

BA ranked him #9 in the PHI system prior to the season, and had this to say about him (sub req'd LINK):

Scouting Report: All the pieces are there for Santana to be the player Philadelphia hopes he can be—a power-hitter who plays above-average defense on an outfield corner. He's athletic and physically imposing. Fundamentally sound at the plate, he has a natural load and incredible raw power. He works the center of the field well and doesn't get pull-happy. He'll have to do a better job of recognizing pitches, as he struggles with hard stuff inside and breaking balls away. He has the plus speed and arm strength to be a quality right fielder, though he needs more game repetition to improve defensively.

His age tempers my disappointment, but I'm not fond of any prospect who strikes out that level of ridiculousness.  I'm praying for the light to go on because his athleticism looks very impressive.

Sickels as of 8/7:

Quote
8  Domingo Santana, OF, Grade C+:  Hitting .273/.345/.448 with seven homers, 28 doubles, 23 walks, 114 strikeouts in 326 at-bats for Lakewood. Toolsy, just 19 years old, but poor BB/K/AB ratio shows need for polish if he wants to succeed at higher levels.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

This Philly reporter claims to know (but doesn't mention any source) the other players the Astros were able to choose from besides Santana:

The Houston Astros chose outfielder Domingo Santana over three other Phillies minor-leaguers to complete the Hunter Pence trade. The other three names on their list: outfielders Jiwan James and Leandro Castro and pitcher Juan Sosa.

Well, they certainly picked the best of that group.
