00:00Yeah. Let's go down on the farm and talk about Davis and Dello Santos, which has been one
00:08of the more intriguing stories in major league baseball this year. So a guy gets rule five,
00:12then he gets returned back from Cleveland to Arizona. He starts hitting home runs at
00:19a ridiculous clip, right? Then he gets called out from double a to triple a brand Lawler,
00:24who is the young prospect there. They start grooming him to go from shortstop the third
00:28because you ain't no Suarez can't get basically any baseball thrown at him. He's hitting under
00:33200 on the year and he's probably gonna get DFA pretty soon. Then Lawler gets hurt. Now
00:37Dello Santos, who was working in the outfield a little bit, some other spots, a little first
00:41base. Now he's back to play in third base and now there's a clear path for him. Just
00:46to kind of give you a, well, who is this guy? What's he been doing? 282 at bats this year
00:51in the minor leagues, 23 home runs. That's one less than Shohei Otani this year. Just
00:56to kind of put that in perspective for you, right? 51 runs scored 66 RBI, a three 40 batting
01:01average, a three 91 OVP and a 10 47 OPS. Davidson Dello Santos needs to be rostered in a lot
01:08more leagues than he is because at some point he is going to get an opportunity and we talked
01:12about who's in it, who's out of it. The diamondbacks are still kind of hanging around and they're
01:16going to get Zach gallon back soon. All of a sudden the diamondbacks might have a run
01:19in them, which you know, with the way the Dodgers rotation looks right now, don't be
01:23shocked if Arizona doesn't bring this kid up and all of a sudden this offense starts
01:29to look a little bit different, but you can't deny right now the power of this young man,
01:34what he's done this year. He is rocketing through the system and now with a wall or
01:37injury and the Suarez lack of performance, there's a real chance you're going to see
01:41this guy when we come back from the all-star break. Yep. That's a fun name to say as well.
01:45So if you're not hearing it eventually you will not. I've noticed that trend just in,
01:49in the space. A lot of people fall in love with names and you have to really be careful
01:53of that. But Joe, those numbers, especially the batting average, like I'm becoming less
01:57and less impressed, maybe desensitized to a lot of these OPS and home run numbers, especially
02:01to see if they translate to the major league level. But I'm always looking for that contact.
02:04I'm always looking for the ability to put back to ball. So the batting average is what
02:07jumped out to me. So yes, if you have space, a hundred percent, I endorse this.
