Carlos Santana has got to be a leading candidate for player of the week.

Santana, in his last 49 games:

.313/.435/.648

Carlos Santana this week:

.609 batting average, .690 on-base percentage, 1.522 slugging percentage, 2.212 OPS, 6 HR, 10 RBI

Oh, and the KC radio announcers are in no way offensive, but they sure are dull.

I'd be shopping Santana. Might be somebody out there that could use a guy without a defesive position that gets hot for a few weeks a year.

Me 2 sea. Trade Santana and bring up Agular. Santana should get you a decent left handed SP.....

By the way I would move Kipnes too if they take Swisher and put Ramierez at 2B. Who has starting pitching and no offense? Oh the Indians. Can we trade with ourselves.

Bauer, Salazar, Kluber, Brantley, Gomes, Lindor, Allen are my only untouchables. You sea.....

Never mind, no one is untouchable to you because they all stink!

I would not trade Santana. He has ups and downs but overall he's only one power hitter.

We had a good left handed starter who we took a BIG chance on. He came through but we let him go.

Bauer, Salazar, Kluber, Brantley, Gomes, Lindor, Allen are my only untouchables

Kluber, if he doesn't get hurt, is their Ace for years to come.

Salazar has shown flashes of being very good...very good keep him aroujnd

Allen is their best bullpen guy...keeper.

Brantley has blossomed ...could be on the juice. Gone for a block buster deal.

Bauer, throws all his pitches with max effort. Those guys break down.....tradable.

Gomes...much better catcher than Santana ever was but replacable.....tradable

Lindor...over hyped and overrated but a valuable piece in a big trade.

Why do you say Lindor is overrated? No one expects him to be a super hitter. Defensive glue, team leader quality they say. We could wait another year and use Erik Gonzalez at short instead who's a good prospect at bat and in the field. All other many middle IF prospects are fading away.

I would not trade Gomes, Brantley or Bauer either. Kipnis I am worried about and Ramirez could play 2B.

I saw a story where Asdrubal says he's ready to lead the team to the playoffs. Since he's been notable for routine second half collapses, and considering how poor his first 60% has been, I'll settle for no less of the same the rest of the way.

Agreed. And the lead announcer has a lisp!

So much for home cooking. Bauer is gone in the 5th inning. 5-0 Mariners.
