No, it really won't. De Los Santos is a back-end rotation guy at best right now per everything I've read. He's more likely to be a bullpen guy than an impact starter. I understand the premise of the trade, as Galvis has been dynamite defensively to really help our groundball-oriented staff. He's in a difficult spot because we have nobody to really back him up. (Villanueva is the backup shortstop? Yikes.)

Except Galvis will most likely be gone next season and this season is pretty much a wasted one anyway.
So pretty much “any” value DLS gives the Phils will be hard to swallow.
And the things you’ve read could be wrong.....we pretty much know what value Galvis provides.

Regardless of whether De Los Santos ends up in the rotation or the bullpen, this was a bad trade. It's a terrible idea to trade any potential assets for unnecessary pieces and Galvis was absolutely unnecessary.

Yeah, I don't share that sentiment, but I feel the same way about people overrating Villanueva.

He was 3rd in DWAR 10 days ago and has since slipped in the rankings to 10th.

On the minor league side, speaking of shortstops, Gabriel Arias is struggling a lot more than I would have hoped for. 16 errors is alarming for someone with his defensive acumen, and yes I realize errors are not the most powerful statistic with minor league players, but still....

Who’s been overrating Villanueva?

Oh, just Padre Twitterverse. The casuals who just love home runs. I like power, but Villanueva is an absolute butcher with the glove and only really provides help with one category.
