seriously, if boston get santana, its over for us.
Look at this possible rotation:
Beckett
Santana
Schilling
Matsuzaka
Papelbon ? / Whoever
wow.

Buccholz will be the 5th guy. Schilling is gonna suck. Matzusaka I'm not sure about. Beckett won't be THAT good again. Santana who knows how he does in Fenway (he hasn't done well there), and Buccholz could be really good but he's in about the same position as our youngins. I don't think it will happen anyway.

Curt Schilling is still Curt Schilling, they will get to October, he will dominate...if the Red Sox get Santana they win the next two World Series...its that simple.

LOL It's that simple? They barely got out of the ALCS last year. A lot can happen.

imo Min doesnt even consider a proposal without Buck or ells in it

Why is it over? Did Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz never lose a game or a series?

That's a scary rotation, but I don't think Schilling has much left. I'm not going to sweat it though, the Yankees rotation is far inferior but that's why you play the games.

In the past 3 years this is how the Yankees do against the greatest pitching staff of all time:
Beckett vs. Yankees: 6.56 ERA, 4-3, .303 BAA
Santana vs. Yankees: 2.66 ERA, 2-0, .250 BAA
Schilling vs. Yankees: 4.70 ERA, 4-6, .273 BAA
Matsuzaka vs. Yankees: 6.12 ERA, 2-1, .240 BAA
Laptop Stealer vs. Yankees: No Data
I'll even throw in some free ones. Here is Papelbon and Okajima
Papelbon vs. Yankees: 2.25 ERA, 0-2, 4 SV, 6SVO, .145 BAA
Okajima vs. Yankees: 8.38 ERA, 1-0, 1 SV, 2 SVO, .293 BAA
Hardly dominant. The only ones you can say that have had real success is Papelbon and Santana. It looked like we figured Papelbon out in the second half of last year. If Santana pitches against us a few more times, I'm sure he will be figured out as well. It's hardly the end of the world. -Jitpal
