I think Santana is traded in the offseason. The twins need to find a few good starting pitchers, instead of one GREAT one. In order to get young guns, they might need to deal Santana. |
Ramm is right (not literally, though he IS that too
). What's the deal man? Cracks me up how CJ reacts to the words, "Red Sox".
Bonds will definitely end up in the A.L. I look for him to go to a team that has a strong owner that wants the attendance draw he brings. I am thinking Peter Angelos here! The A's are a possibility and I guess the Yankees are a long shot;...it could happen.
Your comment on the Twins needing more arms than ONE expensive one is why I think the Dodgers and (unfortunately for me) other teams have a solid shot at him. We have Chad Billingsley a very solid, possibly a-star-in-the-making young starter, we have Jonathon Meloan - he'll be on the 40 man this spring and an outside shot at making the roster. We also have Clayton Kershaw that just dominated the minors last year, but he's very young and needs at least another season. I expect him to start in AA and make it to AAA quickly unless hurt. We have several more young arms too. Notably Greg Miller a former minor league pitcher of the year coming back from injury and (gulp!) Jonathon Broxton, our closer-in-the-making, young 99 MPH throwing bigass setup man. Almost certainly the Twins will want at least two of those guys and a position player. This COULD happen for us but only if we sign ARod (or Lowell... but that ain't happening) so we can "afford" the trading of players for a pitcher. Can't do that AND trade a bunch of guys for fatso Cabrera.
