Few players are capable to immediately dominate once promoted to the majors. Last season, Carlos Santana was the exception. In 192 plate appearances, Santana terrorized opposing pitchers, posting a .401 OBP with a 19.3% walk rate. He was one of the biggest breakout candidates entering 2011. Though Santana isn`t playing poorly, his current season might be seen as somewhat of a disappointment.

Bullish on Carlos Santana
Just moments ago, Howard put on his eviscerating goggles and made his best shot at informing us why we should all be thwarted in Carlos Santana this season. I see this perspective, I really do. A casual glance at his counting stats doesn`t stir up images of Mike Piazza nor do they urge much trust in Santana going forward. But I mean the generation of the grousing about Santana is wrapped up in expectations of what sort of player people thought he would be rather than the one that he ought to be.

Following up on my posts about LaPorta, Brantley, Masterson and Carrasco, I'm going to resolve the series with a little spot on Carlos Santana. After being stolen from the Dodgers for Casey Blake, Santana has done aught but hit in the Indians organization.
