Another Phenom will make his debut tonight.Indians call up Catching prospect Carlos Santana today.He hits for power and average.Said be just like or better then Victor Martinez.Which is the main reason Indians traded Martinez last year.
I can not remember a year where you had this many phenomes come up .Had Heyward and Leake on opening day rosters,then in season call ups of Buster Posey,Stephen Strasburg,Michael Stanon,Ike Davis and Now Carlos Santana.
It has been a great year if you like(as I do)to watch young talented phenoms come up and play.

partly bc all of the old steroid users are breaking down and the window is open now for the younger guys. could be the start of a nice era.

The Cleveland Indians have recalled top prospect Carlos Santana from Triple-A Columbus. Santana is a switch-hitting catcher, who was batting .316 with 13 homers and 51 RBIs in 57 games for the Clippers. Perhaps the best hitter in Cleveland's entire organization, the Indians kept him in the minor leagues this season to work on his receiving skills and overall defense.
