LinkThere's been lots of talk about the Dodgers needing to do something dramatic this offseason, and Johan Santana's name has popped up in a potential blockbuster, with the Dodgers perhaps sending prized prospects such as lefty Clayton Kershaw or outfielder Matt Kemp to the Twins. The big question is, will the Twins deal Santana now or try to win with him one more time? One AL executive theorized, "There are a few teams who could match up with the Twins. Would the Yankees deal Melky Cabrera and an Ian Kennedy for Santana? How about Boston? Would they send a Clay Buchholz and a Jacoby Ellsbury for him? The Mets? There are few teams who could handle the paycheck you'd have to give Santana and also be able to part with key prospects."
Interesting comment that some AL executive wonders if Cashman would give up Kennedy and Melky for Johan. Personally, I doubt that is enough for Santana and we would probably have to give up Horne or someone else as well. I'd do it without a doubt Melky, Kennedy and Horne for Johan. A rotation of Johan, Wang, Pettitte, Hughes, Chamberlain/Moose is as dominant as one can get. You could possibly go after Hunter for CF or live with Damon until Jackson or Gardner are ready to start there full-time. Thoughts? -Jitpal
This thread title just made my day...thanks for the laugh although I'll probably need a new keyboard from spitting out my coffee...
