The Mets need bullpin help to a set up guy and Nathan can be that. I See A Scenerio as this Santana Nathan and Swarzack* *The Twins best prospect for Gomez, FMArt, Pelfry, Mulvey, Heilman and Humber i think the twins are gonna trade both santana and nathan so why not trade both together?

It seems the enthusiasm for all things Santana appears to be waning a bit. We are all realizing slowly but surely that if a deal is coming, it is far away and nothing is close with anyone. You hear Bedard is going to the M's. Haren left already to the D Backs. That takes 2 potential suitors out of the mix for Santana. I think the Twins are destined to lose this battle here. Fortunately for them, the Sox, and both NY teams are still claiming they are in this. But I am thinking both the spanks and Sawx are really just trying to steer the conversation enough to keep Santana away from the other one. What is left...really only us. This does not mean he gets dealt. Just that it is growing increasingly clear that he is not being traded to those 2 AL teams. My prediction....he starts the year a Twin and they make no announcement regarding this from now through spring training. So we keep hanging on innuendo rather than fact. Unless the GM makes an announcement from the Twins....we stand idly by More Santana minor updates….

A rotation of 2 rotator cuff recoveries (Pedro & Benson). A starting pitcher who weighs more than Michael Strahan. And a pitcher whose age is really 44 (El Duque). A starting rotation of question marks and a pot belly? Priceless. Clarificiation.

Just a little reminder: The Mets now hold the record for worst regular-season collapse in Major League Baseball history... Bartolo Colon: Hmm...Can't even hit 90 anymore. Hasn't pitched a full season in 3 years. 6.34 ERA last season. 100 lbs. overweight. NO THANKS. Kris Benson (Part II): Just had rotator cuff surgery. Married to Playboy bunny who threatens to sleep with everyone on the team (EVEN with Ramon Castro). Last pitched 200 innings in 2000. 4.87 ERA. NO THANKS. Then again, I want to win a World Series. I guess mediocrity is appealing to some... We don’t need Johan??
