Sergio Santos, SS The Diamondbacks had hoped their 2002 first-round pick might have his breakout season in 2005, but the prospect of that happening was reduced greatly when he was sent Tucson to be the Sidewinders' starting shortstop at the age of 21. While it may not have been a surprise that he struggled at the plate in his first season at the Triple-A level, the severity of his struggles couldn't have been encouraging. Santos got off to a brutal start, hitting just .171 in April, and after seeming to get acclimated in May and June (.267-8-38), he hit .240 with only one homer and 18 RBIs in his final 58 games. Finally healthy after battling shoulder problems, the 6-foot-3, 240-pounder played 131 of 132 games at short, committing a league-high 26 errors. Perhaps most perplexing, Santos -- a right-handed swinger -- continued to show an inability to hit lefties, batting just .148 with two homers and 11 RBIs compared to .279-10-57 vs. right-handers. 蛇隊多麼希望這位他們在2002年首輪選進的新秀，在2005年球季有個突破性發展 但不幸的，升上3A後，這位21歲頂級新秀的表現嚴重衰退。儘管對首度升上3A的 年輕球員來說，遇到瓶頸並不令人意外，但Santos卻陷入令人不敢恭維的困境中 。他在3A的第一個月繳出的成績是慘不忍睹的0.171。接下來的兩個月他似乎慢慢 的調整上來，擊出八支全壘打同時打下38分打點，也將他的打擊率提升至0.267， 然而在球季的最後58場比賽，他卻僅僅擊出了一支全壘打，打擊率和打點則是乏 善可陳的0.240和18。肩膀上的舊傷似乎也影響了這位六呎三吋240磅的游擊手在 守備上的表現，在以游擊手身分上場的131場比賽中(出賽132場)，他出現了全聯盟 最多的26次失誤。但最令人困惑的，則是他面對左投時的表現，相較於面對右投手 時.279-10-57的成績，這位強力的右打者在面對左投時， 表現出完全的無力感 - 0.148 2HR 11 RBIS 。 --
