Sports_Freak Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I remember reading a very positive article last year about a very young shortstop in the Tigers organization. Christian Santana. Looking up his stats this season, he doesn't look like he's doing very good. Is he playing against older players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Santana. Looking up his stats this season, he doesn't look like he's doing very good. Is he playing against older players? So according to B-Ref he is 2.1 years younger than average for A-ball just a little concerning this being his second time through the league. He had a torrid July(.270/.466/.571) but April-June was rough. To give you some context he has only hit against pitchers younger than him in 8 AB's this season. He definitely has an eye for the ball even with a .167 BA for the year his OBP is .384. I know he struggled with some injuries last year and he missed some time in May which could have also been an injury. I think next year will be very telling for him. I would like to see them push him to High-A if he finishes the year off strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like he was a "can't miss" prospect. Pretty young and raw but a lot of potential. The only downside they could come up with was his young age. When I saw his stats this season, I thought he was either hurt or playing with older and more established players. Thanks for the update!

Edman85 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I've got the domestic reserve list at 175 with six more draftees/UDFA to be added. Those three cuts got us close to meeting the 180 limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season he's a yr away from 30. It's getting to where he might not be able to recover his hitting timing again even he tried to come back.

I hope he can work it out, but I remember Nick Esasky (who, if I remember right, was pretty comparable to Meadows hitting-wise). Esasky never came back from the Vertigo issue.

I think he means Kreidler is playing tonight for the Hens and he's 2/4 so far. Parker Meadows and Malloy each with a HR also. 17th for each. But Gipson-Long abused for 6 runs in 4.2IP. They should send JHM to winter ball to learn to be a catcher. Edited August 4, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people believe a player needs to be older to be a DH. If he is a good enough OBP guy but he can't field a lick, then use him the way he should be used and don't try to force it. He'd have to learn so much to be a Catcher that it would probably distract him from improving as a hitter. He's just a DH that can fill in the corners in the OF when they need it.

If he has a good bat, you can get him more AB if he can play a position. A RHH is going to get the short end of the playing time at DH because odds are a team has a good LHH that can't field. In the Tigers case, that is Carpenter. who is already in line to take most of the AB at DH once Cabrera is gone. As to whether he can do it. probably not, but you you never know until you try. He supposedly came up as an IF so he should have the arm. Granted catcher is something you probably don't ask a guy to do, he volunteers to try. But they need to keep thinking outside the box.
