Below average fielders make nice plays on a regular basis.  Overall I would say he's below average in the outfield. 

Based on his 34 games played? Little soon.

I trust the reports I have read more than my own eyes.

Nah, not talking about that. He’s more athletic than people (or, you) give him credit. Like his approach at bat, too. 

I’ve seen him be bad, but his athleticism could give him a shot. Hey, wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong.

I don’t think anyone else on the team could have made that catch. The height and timing of the jump, and the route getting there in the first place, disqualify everyone on the 25, and most guys on the 40.

You don't think Broxton could make that play?

He would.

Mancini could probably make the catch if he got a good jump on the ball. Not sure about the throw to 1B.

I don't think he does.  He's having a couple good games.  He's also got a 737 OPS in juiced ball Norfolk.  He isn't that good and it will show.

Folks get all excited when a guy comes up and has a few good games.

I’m glad he had a good day.

I'm not sure about Mancini but if you want to expand it to the 40 man, Hays makes that play.

Hays too. Mancini is a maybe. Mullins can probably get to that ball if he times the leap right, but I can’t see how he throws the runner at 1B out.

Broxton is ok, but he’s average. I’ve already seen him misread balls and takes questionable routes.

He isnt hitting in Norfolk is one thing thats wrong with Santander. Im sure coming into the year he was considered a higher prospect than Stewart, but definitely still behind Hays and Diaz. 

Technically, he wasn’t considered a prospect at all, having earned a full year of major league service.    

Personally, I don’t know that I would have ranked him ahead of Stewart.  The OH list had Stewart 6 and Santander 8 after the 2017 season.    Then in 2018, Stewart posted a .716 OPS in AAA and .890 in the majors, while Santander posted .695 in AA, .599 in AAA and .547 in the majors.   Nether was very impressive last year, but Santander was less so, IMO.

Have a game, Anthony

He’s been very good since being brought back up. I think he’s been worth .7 bWAR so far. Watched him in Norfolk, very pleased as to what I saw.
