Yeah an all glove no bat SS yielding that return is not bad

I guess they'll package one of the OFs with Cesar for a SP?

I'd prefer not to deal Altherr, ODub or Williams. But if I had to pick one I'd prob deal Altherr

santana was signed to show everyone that they are serious about winning. they are likely going to package some combination of cesar, an outfielder and possibly more to get a starting pitcher along the lines of archer, cole or stroman. i hate cole, but would welcome the other 2.

it doesnt hurt that santana is dominican and so is manny.

but really they got a middle of the order bat who controls the strike zone. hes mostly going to play 1B but can survive in RF if need be. the phils evidently liked hoskins in LF enough. hes young enough where it's fine.

the money means nothing because they have so much of it to burn. the years are limited. they might have to eat the 3rd year, but so what. this is a culture establishing move. its like what they did in 03 by signing thome or what the nats did in 11 by signing werth. santana is only a 3 win player but hes been in the playoffs a lot, has won a lot and the move will show free agents next year (along with the bullpen moves and presumably the SP trade) that the phillies are serious.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

im not in love with santana but he is not a bad player.

his obp is the same against lefties and righties. he has much more power vs. LHP but hits for a better average against RHP. whatever that means.

i dont know what this means but he hasnt hit well at camden and yankee, 2 stadiums with similar dimensions to the bank. hes also played 150 games the last few years so im sure he will disintegrate now.

nobody knows who the farg rhys hoskins is. he had 1 good month. nobody, let alone one of the 5 best players in baseball, is signing up to play with him. the rest of the phillies young guys are even more unproven and worthless.

santana helps give them some credibility. again hes a 3 win player, hes not going to make a difference in much of anything, but the move pushes them away from a tank look and toward a real one. perception matters.

Get Chris Archer plz

ive had my eye on him for 4 years. didnt think it would work once he signed his extension and the phils rebuilt path was set, but its in the cards now. id give up seranthony and/or kilome easy. along with williams or altherr.

archer to me is a guy who will elevate his game in a big spot, big market, big crowd.

He's one of my favorite pitchers to watch
