The fact that they threw in Santana was the eyebrow raiser. I remember when I first heard that the Astros had chosen Santana to complete the trade, in mid-August, how surprised I was. There were folks I talked to in the organization who absolutely loved Santana. He'd hit six home runs in 118 at bats with an .897 OPS as a 16-year-old in the Gulf Coast League in 2009, and he was OPSing .780 as an 18-year-old at Class A Lakewood the year he was traded. He was as blessed with power as any player in the system at the time, he was just years away from developing the kind of polish that would land him on the top prospect lists.
