And who throws mid-90’s and has an outstanding curveball and he hasn’t even filled out yet. He just needs the minors to work on his control and add another pitch. There are few 18 year olds with that kind of ability.

Do the papers in this town all have someone assigned to the “Hank beat”?

I swear everytime this guy decides what magazine to bring into the crapper with him I have to read about it someplace.

But those are both potential stud pitchers. F-Mart is an outfielder….

You can’t part with your best prospect. The yanks aren’t trading Jaba the Hut and the Red Sox aren’t trading Buckholtz

Bedard is going to cost what Santana does. Look at the M’s offer. Their top prospects are higher ranked than ours and they are still going to have to deal the top 4.
Blanton at this point will cost at least Gomez, Mulvey and Heilman. Is that soo much better than Gomez, Martinez, Gurerra, Mulvey? Considering the difference in the pitcher you are getting?

You have to be a Yankee’s or Sox fan.
I don’t usually pass judgement on a poster as there are reasons to not trade for Santana that are legitimate but….
Take that back you have to be a Yankee’s or Braves fan because only they would say “SIGN BLANTON” as he is unsignable.
