Carlos Santana was signed by the Phils. Did Carlos Santana ever have a song called, "Harumph?" Cause he's making me harumph all over the place. Doesn't Hoskins play 1B? Will Santana move to 3rd? I agree, Maikel hasn't been great, but he's too young to give up on. Maybe Santana plays outfield? Hoskins plays outfield? Maybe they juggle left field? Maybe they juggle balls hit to them in left field? Maybe they're juggalos? I got questions, y'all! The scenario of Hoskins in the outfield seems most likely with Franco getting pushed down the order, but not out of the lineup entirely. This might be something to watch in the spring with The Jacked Up Jew, and how he manages his new Latin classic rock guitarist. As for Santana, his stats last year look like that of an aging slugger. Carlos Santana's gone from Oye Como Va to a hard-of-hearing Latino, 'Oye come again?' His average home run distance from 2016 to 2017 came down ten feet, but Citizens Flank might help a little. His line drive rate went up, but his fly balls are going nowhere, and his Hard Contact was down. He's even seeing more pitches inside the zone, because people just aren't scared of him anymore. His stats don't scream, 'The end is nigh,' but they are whispering, 'Soon, my pretty.' For 2018, I'll give Carlos Santana projections of 74/24/81/.257/4 in 552 ABs. Anyway, here's what else I saw this offseason for fantasy baseball:
