Greg Dos Santos:
Little did anyone know just how prolific the 2023 draft would turn out to be. Of the 16 players taken in the first round of the amateur draft, 7 would wind up in the Hall of Fame. No other draft has come close. The 10th overall selection in that draft was Greg Dos Santos, taken by Sacramento. By 2025, Dos Santos had established himself as Sacramento's everyday left-fielder, and an elite power threat, finishing second in the league with 41 homeruns. The development of Dos Santos would also bring good fortune to the Sacramento franchise. From 2020 to 2026, the Kings finished in second place six times, and third place once. In 2027, Dos Santos' third season as the starting left-fielder, Sacramento won their first division title since 2015. They would lose the World Series that year to Knoxville.
After Scott Border's fifth, and final, 60+ homerun season in 2010, such a feat became an unheard of accomplishment for almost 20 years. Starting in 2028, however, a flurry of players would join what was previously a club of just two(Border and Anselmo Maldonado, who accomplished the feat in 2006). From 2028 to 2042, 7 different players produced 60+ HR seasons. The second of those players to achieve this was Dos Santos in 2029, with 62 longballs. Amazingly, Dos Santos was neither an All Star nor the Silver Slugger winner in such an amazing season.
After an injury cost him about 2 1/2 months of the 2030 season, Dos Santos produced the third best OPS of his career and helped lead Sacramento to another World Series appearance. Once again, however, they lost, this time to Nashville. After the 2031 season, Dos Santos left Sacramento and signed with Washington, to give the Senators an all (future) Hall of Fame outfield, which included, in addition to Dos Santos, CF Tod Tsukasa and RF Jason Dockins. Would such an impressive collection of talent lead to a playoff spot for Washington? No. The Senators missed the playoffs for the 19th consecutive season in 2032, and finished tied for last place with Atlanta with a record of 77-85. 2033 wasn't much better, as Washington won only 76 games. Dos Santos would hit 50 HR for the 5th time in his career in 2034, and Washington managed 84 wins, which was only good for 3rd place in the division.
In 2035, Washington's playoff-less streak came to an end, as they won the division with 86 wins. The Senators rallied from being down 2 games to 1 to a 97 win Tucson team in the ALCS. They won three straight games by one run apiece to win the series in 6 games. Of those games, one was a 15 inning marathon and another a 10 inning game. And so, a tired underdog limped into the World Series against the defending champion, Pittsubrgh. Most expected the 115 win Pirates to blow the Senators away. Well, they sort of did. It was a 4 game sweep, at least. But by no means were the Senators overmatched. Through 6 innings in Game One, the Senators led 4-1. But they couldn't hang on. Pittsburgh picked up a run in the 7th, 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th(back to back homeruns to start the inning), and 1 run in the 10th inning to win the game. In Game Two, the Senators banged out 12 hits, but were kept off the scoreboard until the 9th inning in a 4-2 defeat. Game Three was the only game that Washington looked outclassed, getting trounced 11-2. At that point, many expected the Senators to lay down in the 4th game. After Pittsburgh struck for 4 runs in the first inning, it certainly seemed as though that would be the case. But it was a solo homerun by Dos Santos in the 2nd inning that sparked the Senators into not going down without a fight. Pittsburgh led 5-1 after 4 innings, and 8-2 after the top of the 6th inning. The Senators rallied for 5 runs in the bottom of the 6th, cutting the deficit to just 1 run. The Pirates pulled away again, however, to clinch the series with a 10-7 victory. Even while getting swept, though, it was considered a gutty performance for Washington.
Alas for Greg Dos Santos, that would be his last shot at a World Series. The Senators slumped to 73 wins the following season. Then, in 2037, Dos Santos was traded to a last place Los Angeles team. 2038 would be his last season.
At the time of his retirement, he ranked 8th all time in homeruns. He was still in the top 25 as recently as 2077. He still holds Sacramento's single season HR record, with 62.
