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

For me Trumbo is the biggest reason that I wish Trumbo was not on this team.

So you suggest he just use big black and white letters?  We'll agree to disagree.

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?

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.

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

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.

      Why does everybody want to jump and label a kid so fast? What is this, his 2nd major-league season? Yes, certainly they shouldn't go into next year thinking he's a lock for 30+ starts and 180-200 innings but we can't say he's already reached his peak either.

      And their defense is very good. To put things in perspective, the Tigers collective dWAR is +0.5. The Orioles is -2.8. Minnesota -4.1, Yankees -0.3, Houston -0.1, Seattle +2.0, Royals at +2.5. The Royals really standout as most of that value is driven by Fermin (catcher) and Witt.  But I think my point is that the Tigers have excellent pitching (starting pitching and bullpen) as well as excellent defense. And they're not putrid with the bats.  I would say the one saving grace about the Tigers is they don't run much.

      We could have easily swept Detroit in Baltimore, the lineup we have now is not the lineup they faced. It doesn't matter who the opponent is, just win.

      Both of them are important to consider here. They could have a mediocre offense every single game of the season, but if the pitching is elite (and it is!), it'll carry them.  We have 6 games against the Tigers this year. And yes, most of them were without the cadre of regulars. But here are the offensive numbers against them: .211/.282/.392 - .674 OPS They scored 20 runs in 6 games against them. Barely scraping 3 R/G. And a good portion of them coming in *1* game.  Out of the WC potentials the O's could face, here are their R/G: Royals: 29 in 6 games = 4.8 R/G Twins: 22 in 3 = 7.3 R/G Mariners: 27 in 6 = 4.5 R/G Tigers: 20 in 6 = 3.3 R/G Out of all the playoff teams, the best RA/G are the Mariners (3.75), Guardians (3.85), and Tigers (4.96). For the playoffs, you want to look at who you're facing on the bump. Which team scares you the most? Because if you can't hit against the team, it doesn't matter what the opposing offense is.  Also you'll want to consider the best fielding teams, too.   Seems to me you'd want to face the team you matchup best against *and* who has the worst defense and worst pitching, because presumably your 3 starters (Burnes, Eflin, Kremer) should be able to hold teams in check.

      I'd prefer Detroit - they've been so hot for so long they should be due to cool off. KC has been just the opposite.

      I'd say the Royals...pitch around Witt and Salvy Perez who seems to have had our number in recent years.  The rest of their lineup isn't too imposing. Wacha  -a guy I wanted this offseason and was laughed at for wanting him- has a 2.64 ERA over his last 15 starts.  He's the soft-tossing type that gives our lineup fits and, IIRC, he was great against us earlier this year.  Lugo has had a great year, so has Ragans.  Their starters are good. But they're 3-7 over their last 10 while the Tigers are 8-2.  A lot of the postseason, IMO, is catching teams at the right/wrong time.  This could all change by next week but the Tigers are hot, the Royals are not... Then again, I said I wanted to face Texas in the first round last year and look what happened.  So who knows.

      Would much rather face KC and to me it’s not close.    game 1 agains Skubal is an L. They’ve proven they can beat us with a bullpen game, a bullpen only behind CLE as best in the AL.
