Carlos Santana the All-Star is Closer Than You Think

Santana maybe old but he knows how to play baseball darn well.

If we only get to send one, I would pick Lewis.  Sending two would be Correa and Lewis.

Correa First, Lewis too early.

Rather than accuse fans of over reacting to 16 games, how about assume they also looked at previous years, and used that as the basis of their opinion? If anyone thinks he's going to keep this up, I hope you aren't disappointed when he doesn't. I know asking posters to assume positive things about other humans is a stretch...

I would not bet on him keeping it up but that was not the topic here now, was it?  I don't know what is going to happen, but I am sure of what has happened, and the topic is what Santana has done.  Perhaps more specifically, how has Santana compared to the best AL 1B.   Why are you comparing him to players at different positions?  Why not just compare him to other AL 1B as Ted suggested which is far more germane to the Ted's assertion that he is not so far off from being an all-star.  Of course, Ted's position assumes all-star voting is purely a product of performance which is unfortunately not exactly true.

Seems like you did not like the signing, so you are unable to give credit where it is due.  The man has played well.  We are going to get far more out of Santana than we would have gotten from keeping Polanco.

I've posted over and over I'm happy to be wrong so far.
