Last Friday the Washington Nationals made their first significant transaction of the offseason, sending LHP Ross Detwiler to the Texas Rangers for prospects Chris Bostick and Abel De Los Santos. Since these players are not household names yet, I reached out to some industry heavyweights to share their thoughts on Bostick and De Los Santos. Thankfully a few responded with some exclusive scouting reports for both players to help introduce them to Washington.

Chris Bostick

“Both of the guys the Nationals got back for Ross Detwiler are decent prospects. I didn’t have either on the Rangers Top 20 list I wrote for MLBPipeline.com, though Chris Bostick was on there earlier during the season. For me, he’s the better of the two guys. Bostick is an offensive-minded second baseman with good pop for a middle infielder. He draws some walks and has the speed to steal a few bases, though he’s going to need to make more contact as he moves up the ladder. The worry with Bostick is that his hands and arm are below average, so he might be adequate at best at second base and can’t really be a utilityman.” –> Jim Callis, MLBPipeline.com

“Average across the board, plays a decent second base and a little pop in the bat. Intriguing player with average bat speed and plays an average defense at second base. Likely not an impact guy, but could potentially provide some 2nd division ability if he can cut down on some of the strikeouts. He’s not athletic enough to provide Utility options, although he could certainly play the OF some.” -> Tucker Blair, Baseball Prospectus

“Bostick is a really athletic kid who has role 5; MLB regular upside. After seeing a few games of Bostick, I really liked his approach and plan at the plate and contact skills. He projects to hit in average to solid average range and has sneaky gap-to-gap power. At 2B, his glove and arm work well enough to where he could play average defense there at the big league level. I think this is a really nice trade for the Nationals, getting potentially two big league caliber players.” -> C.J. Wittmann Jr., Baseball Prospectus

Abel De Los Santos

“Abel de los Santos put up nice numbers this year as a reliever in Class A, but he doesn’t really have a plus pitch to hang his hat on. He throws strikes with his fastball and slider and keeps the ball down in the strike zone but I don’t see him becoming more than a middle reliever.” -> Jim Callis, MLBPipeline.com

“De Los Santos is an average sized right-hander with a loose arm and he can generate mid-90s velocity. The looseness of the arm causes him to get offline and the command varies. If he straightens out the command issues then we could looking at a MLB reliever profile.” -> C.J. Wittmann Jr., Baseball Prospectus
