looks like they have mailed it in. Santana could be the jose tartabul or lance parish of this year's team. i'd put hoskins at first and bring up quinn to just start this team. the catching position is giving them nothing. they need a spark. the weak pitching is starting to show up also.

I'm going to continue defending Carlos Santana. He had a poor start and his babip for the season is largely responsible for that. He is also historically a slow starter.

Coming into this game his OBP for the past two weeks was .357

His power, and average will improve.
