Scout’s note

Alimber Santa's stuff grade of 0.64 puts him in the 95th percentile of the 827 AAA arms we track — the same tier as Teodo, and miles past the 0.04 median. The Azua product reached Houston in late May at 23 and has thrown 15.1 MLB innings with a 1.17 ERA and nine strikeouts. The results are quiet, which is what you want from a young arm finding his feet. Stuff comes first, and Santa's is already major-league caliber.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
