The PTBNL later from the Jamie Brown trade to Boston, Santos is a very interesting prospect. He'll take a walk, will hit for power, and is young enough to allow for some improvement. Added to the 40-man Roster in the wake of Ricky Gutierrez having more problems with his spinal cord, he should provide what Gutierrez did for a fraction of the cost, and could eventually make John McDonald expendable. And he's 10 times better than Zach Sorensen.
