Must be frustrating in a way to be THAT good at baseball, but not quite good enough to make it all the way. Like looking into the promised land, but never being able to get there (or get there and stay - I'm not sure if he ever had a ML AB, and don't care enough to look it up because my point remains regardless).
Going with the hot hitter? Santander 1.017 OPS last 7 games. And hitting LH much better than RH this year (and a little better over the entire course of his career).
