Kid only has a handful of at bats past A ball. Just keep him through Mid May next year and send him down for more seasoning. Hope he can replace Trumbo by 2020 at the latest. 

One more thing. I assume he will accumulate one year of service time this year, correct? So when he does come back to the team we will have him under control for 5, not 6 years.  

Yes, correct.    But he won't necessarily accumulate a full year next year.

Santander hit a 2-run home run in his first plate appearance of the game.

Right handed against Abad.  May end up platooning with Rasmus if his defense holds up.

" worked with Brady" this offseason on his defense. 

I love Santander. I used to think "worked with Brady" was code for doing steroids in the butt but maybe that changed:)

LOVE ME SOME SANTANDER! Hit a big homer today against the wind! Saw a lot of him at Bowie last year, such huge power.

Gotta be careful when talking about Brady and using the phrase, "in the butt."

And here I thought folks had finally stopped talking about that.

“Not that there is anything wrong with that”

I honestly was just making a steroids joke.

I didn't have a problem with what you said.

  He's got s nice fluid swing and seems to hit the ball where it's pitched.   

Where else would you hit the ball?  If you try to hit it where it's not pitched, you'll swing and miss.

I was trying to kid in the response.

Santander is making a good impression so far.   Two homers, a number of hits, and a couple of good defensive plays.    Buck has said twice now that Santander is making his case not just to stay on the roster for 44 days, but to make a contribution to this team.    Nice to see.

He is a bull. He made a great GREAT diving catch going towards the foul line in left. Mancini at first opens some many possibilities.

Now...if we could just find someone/anyone to take Trumbo.
