Traded to Houston for Kevin Cash (July 2010)

Scouting Report: Exceptional defensive player with a strong arm.  Primarily plays shortstop but can also play second and third base.   With the bat, Sanchez makes average contact and has doubles power.  Good plate discipline.  Average speed.  Still has the potential to be a major league utility player, especially if he is able to repeat his offensive success from 2009.
