Dennis Santana wins the May 14 – May 20th Farm Factory Award

I’m not sure any Dodger prospect has had a better AAA debut than Dennis Santana had on May 19th when he struck out eleven with zero walks in his six innings.  I may have to check that out just for fun. It was a slam dunk to give Dennis Santana the weekly Farm Factory Award …
