Cleveland catcher Carlos Santana is one of the most heavily hyped rookies of the year--at least among those not named "Strasburg," anyway. He came up two days ago and hit his first home run yesterday.
Washington's Adam Dunn, meanwhile, is a Mack truck in a baseball jersey. This will become relevant in 3... 2...

Good lord, RIP Carlos Santana. And Dunn was even slowing down. No malice, no dirty play, just a young catcher standing in the wrong person's way. Best to learn that early, we suppose.
