www.google.com/amp/s/bosoxinjection.com/2022/02/25/boston-red-sox-prospects-victor-santos-make-waves-2022/amp/I find this an interesting player. For one he is a pitcher which is always needed. Second be it starter or reliever the big league team had a need last year and a cheap quality reliever can always play to semi stardom with the Red Sox. ( look no further than Garrett Whitfield). I also love that he was kinda found for next to nothing. The fact that he has a career 3.12 era with a whip under 1.25 is impressive. He’s pitched in double a and is only 21 years old. He doesn’t walk a ton of players but doesn’t throw extremely hard and strike out a lot either. ( which makes me question his bullpen use). But he is sneaky player I will be intrigued to watch and see if he can help the Red Sox during their next year of play.

I've had my eye on him too as a good-command, weak-contact guy (oSLG .381 in '21) who doesn't rely on ligament-snapping velo but unfortunately they didn't put him on the 40, man.
He's at the top of my list of potential Rule 5 losses.

On top of the great year he had this year between high-A and AA (2.40 ERA, 1.066 WHIP, .650 oOPS), 344 of 349 PAs against him were by older players.
Surely he's got more potential than Potts or Rosario...

Potts could hit a ton of bombs though too and suddenly be our starting left fielder for a month or two after injuries hit. It’s nice to have depth in our system

From what ive read the talent exposed to rule 5 is pretty much league wide and the sox aren't the only ones in that boat, of course that's only if the rule 5 draft happens. It doesn't seem a sure thing that it takes place this year with the cba negotiations taking place.

Yeah, that's my impression too. There are a lot of more enticing players left unprotected by other teams and there are only so many open spots on various teams' 40-man rosters, so the chances of the Sox losing a player are lowered. Indeed, Chaim has left a spot open on the Sox 40-man, so perhaps he has his eye on a possible Rule 5 addition.

Potts could hit a ton of bombs though too and suddenly be our starting left fielder for a month or two after injuries hit. It’s nice to have depth in our system The Red Sox have 1 40-man spot open and probably have to acquire at least a starting-level OF (i.e. Suzuki), at least one infielder if not two (at least need a bench IF, and probably would like a starting-level one instead or as well), and at least one solid reliever if not two. That's as many as 4 40-man spots they'd need to clear. I think it's pretty unlikely both Potts and Rosario will still be on the 40-man on opening day, but at the very least, I don't think comparing Santos (or anyone really) to the most likely DFA candidates on the 40-man right now, when the building of the MLB roster is clearly incomplete, is the analysis to be making.

I wasn’t comparing a pitcher to a hitter in any way shape or form. Instead I was squirreling a bit and talking about the depth of the roster My take on Santos is simple. He seems to have the numbers, age, and experience to back up this claim: I’m really intrigued by him and feel he could be a much bigger piece to this ball club by this time next year based out of the bullpen. In essence: I would not be surprised if he is this years Whitlock without the rule 5 help Whitlock had to be forced to be kept. As for Potts and Rosario: I believe it was said they would probably be dropped or traded by end of the year with Rosario being the first case before Potts. So we agree on that. I do think of the 40 man roster spots right this second- santos would be a better fit than Rosario for the totality of the makeup of the team. One thing is clear: Red Sox are building true organizational depth in a manner they never had before in the last administration. I personally think that’s a really good thing and will also lead to us losing some of our own Whitlocks to other teams along the way ( just nature of the beast)
