Zack Grienke has 2 more Ks than I do in 16 more IP.

His WHIP is higher than his K/9

Pratto is the guy. I suppose Pasquantino could be a placeholder. But they are unlikely to cut ties with Santana so quickly given the money.

Santana's contract is a sunk cost. They can move on at this point.

What about MJ Melendez, isn't he a potential Santana replacement?

I'm not sure. He hasn't played 1B in the minors at all (and he's also off to a putrid start, just 5 for 41).

[SlideRule]

Santana has continued his putrid ways, as he's just 2-for-26 to start the season.

Meanwhile, at AAA, Vinnie Pasquantino is hitting to the tune of .297/.449/.405. Fellow prospect Nick Pratto is also at AAA, but he's not hitting well yet. Santana's contract is up after this season. How long until we see a change?

Carlos Santana before the AS break:

.246/.368/.421, 15 HR, 50 RBI, 48 R. About what you'd expect, probably better.

After the AS break:

.169/.249/.241, 4 HR 18 RBI, 18 R. Ouch!!

Hope they call up Melendez fast!

Per Yahoo! (Heyman), Witt has made the Opening Day roster.

Perez hit #48 tonite, tying him w Jorge Soler for the all-time club season record.

[rhd]

Sal Perez now is the sole leader in MLB in HR w his 47th today. Again, Johnny Bench is the only catcher so far to lead MLB in HR in any season and he did so twice (1970 and 1972).

[rhd]

Sal w his 46th HR today, which sets the MLB season record for HRs by a player who played primarily as a catcher. Also tied Vladdy for the MLB lead. Also leads MLB in RBI w 115. Is he going to be the spoiler for Vladdy's triple crown bid?

[rhd]

Here's one that really surprised me. I knew that Nicky Lopez was having a good year but did you realize that his bWAR is 3.8?! You prefer fWAR? That's 4.2! Just his offensive WAR is still 3.6! That's borderline all-star caliber. That's w 2 weeks left to play.

[TranaGreg]

when's the last time that a catcher led the league in RBIs!?!?!?
