Sanchez doubles and homers in Tampa win

Some notes:

• VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman confirmed to Josh Norris that OF Ravel Santana will miss the rest of the year with a broken forearm. He suffered the injury two weeks ago. Once upon a time, Santana was one the team’s most exciting prospects. After losing two years to injury, he’s an afterthought.
• Norris has some more general info from Newman to check out as well. Most notably, he says first rounder 3B Eric Jagielo is about a week away from returning from his hamstring injury. I don’t know if that means he is a week away from games or a week away from workouts, but Newman has a knack for being, uh, optimistic with recovery time frames (coughTimNortoncough).
• Check out Matt Filippi‘s scouting reports on various Short Season Staten Island arms. He’s not the first person to be impressed by this summer’s 12th round pick, LHP Caleb Smith.
