According to Baseball America, de los Santos is a prospect to watch, which would be a welcome change for the Pirates' Latin American scouting efforts, which have been entirely fruitless so far under Dave Littlefield. De los Santos throws a low-90s fastball, a slider and a change. He fanned a lot of batters in his second DSL season, although his control evidently needs work. Hopefully he'll stick with Bradenton for 2006.
