Deyvison De Los Santos

Few big-league clubs would give De Los Santos a long look as a regular due to his flawed approach and poor defense, but the Marlins only have a few credible candidates to hit 20-plus home runs, so he's in the right place. In the lead up to the trade deadline, Miami dealt A.J. Puk to Arizona for De Los Santos and a lesser prospect (Andrew Pintar), so they accepted him as the headliner for a real player and must like him to some extent. De Los Santos has always had prodigious power relative to most of his peers, and he logged a strong 32.7 percent hard-hit rate and 40 homers in 137 games split between Double-A Amarillo (an extremely hitter-friendly home park) and Arizona and Miami's Triple-A affiliates, including 49 games for Reno in the Pacific Coast League. Bandboxes aside, 40 homers for any minor leaguer is an impressive total. However, De Los Santos is a free swinger (108:22 K:BB at Triple-A), and he slashed .240/.284/.459 with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate and 5.2 percent walk rate after getting dealt out of the PCL and into the still favorable, but less cartoonish, International League. De Los Santos will get to play regularly at first base or designated hitter, and he should provide more power and a worse batting average and on-base percentage than most rookies.
