Although I’ve obviously had this portion of the two-part series done for a while now, I figured I’d better get it out of the way before Amaro makes a significant move of stupidity before Christmas (because we all know Rube likes to get his shopping done early). I think that it is important to note prior to revealing this list, that they are not in order of financial pain, even though the majority of Ruben’s self-inflicted problems are monetary ones.

Phillies Send Santana As PTBNL

August 15th, 2011 by Mike H. | Comments Off on Phillies Send Santana As PTBNL | Filed in Baseball, Phillies

Houston and Philadelphia complete the trade for Hunter Pence by selecting Domingo Santana (above) as the second PTBNL.

Today, the Phillies completed the Hunter Pence trade by sending Low A Lakewood BlueClaws RF/DH Domingo Santana to the Houston Astros. Santana was perceived by some to be the best right handed hitting prospect in the Phillies’ minor league system. Coming into the 2011 season Santana was ranked as the Phillies’ 9th best organizational prospect. Santana was hitting .269 with 40 extra base hits (29 doubles, 4 triples, and 7 home runs) in 350 at bats. Santana, however, lacks pitch recognition and still may be more of a guess hitter. Santana had a strikeout to walk ratio of 120:26, but at age 19, he still has a couple more years to develop.

So the final tally is:

Hunter Pence and 2 million dollars to Philadelphia for Jarred Cosart, Jonathan Singleton, Joshua Zeid and Domingo Santana.

I can’t imagine anyone saying that the Phillies got over on the Astros with this deal. Two top 50 prospects and an organizational top 10? Pretty steep, but the Phillies have locked down the right field position for the next three Octobers.
