He's an exceptional defensive CF and hes an OK hitter. And Lester is a very good prospect with extremely high potential. Yes, the other 2 prospects are being overlooked, so it is a solid little package. But, ultimately, it's still robbery. If the Sox can get Santana without giivng up Ellsbury, it's a flat out steal. Epstein has become one of the best GM's out there in a tough city. Sox are already the class of baseball...this would make them ridiculous-almost too good. With that being said the Sox are ganna have to pay a ton for this guy and will have a hefty payroll...but they still have a core group of guys who aren't making anything...Pedroia, YOOUK, Ellsbury, Papelbon, Okajima, Buchholz...they have a fantastic group of young guys plus the huge veterans. Yanks can not afford to let this happen and the Twins should hold off and wait for more if they know whats best for them. Lets be honest here-the Mets are done in this deal. They have nothing to give. Forget about Santana, pretty much forget about Haren, and Bedard is a long shot. Mets are in some trouble. Ok, people Crisp aint good but he aint a BUM.

Not only that, if the Twins elect not to pull the trigger, they still have between now and before the 2008 season starts to deal Santana. The Redsox and Yankees are NOBODY to enforce "deadlines" and make ultimatums to force the Twins into a corner.

You cannot tell me that Coco Crisp is going to replace whatever Hunter produced because HE'S NOT! Here are his stats from the last two seasons: 2007 Season: 526 AB / 6 HR / 60 RBI / 84 SO / 28 SB .330 OBP / .382 SLG / .268BA 2006 Season: 413 AB / 8 HR / 36 RBI / 67 SO / 22 SB .317 OBP / .385 SLG / .264 BA How about the Mets build a package that involves Gomez, Pelfrey, Niese, Parnell and cash for Santana? Whoever the two minor leaguers the Redsox are offering, I am almost certain the Mets have players that match them statistically as well as long term potential. Say the Twins like the package, they can then turn around and deal Nathan for additional arms and a major league ready bat.
