Rusney Castillo/ Danny Santana

Any opinions on what kind of numbers Rusney Castillo will put up this season?

What happened to Danny Santana? Will he find any of his 2014 form?

But he also did it with a .405 batting average on balls in play -- the second-highest BABIP by a player with at least 400 plate appearances since Santana himself was born in 1990. Simply put, it isn't sustainable, and regression could be particularly ugly to the young speedster with a career minor-league batting line of .273/.317/.391


Info from Fangraphs for Santana. Very unlikely that he'll come close to repeating his 2014 card.

Castillo is off to a slow start, but he's a strong arm away from being a 5-tool talent and should be contributing to the Sox soon. Santana has been terrible this year, and since he's not a strong defensive player at any of his positions, it's unlikely he has much of a future with the Twins. They really just need stopgaps--probably Jorge Polanco--for the next three years until Nick Gordon, Dee's little brother, arrives.
