I also hope all are chips we speak about are not playing in the mexican leauge or whatever right now and getting banged up. oh that mcfly comment’s great, listen if Santana goes free agency after 08, and stays healthy with a solid 07, he might get 7 years at 26 mil each, so 20mil now at 6 yrs is a discount already, the delema is even getting to the table to negotiate this contract extension.

OK, so Santana wants at least 5 years, probably 6 or 7... Didn't Gil Meche get 4 last year? At 10M a year? Kyle Lohse wants 3 years at 10M a pop! He sucks. Carlos Silva got 4 years, and 44M. He sucks too. Give Johan his $20M for 6 years, as I think he'd accept a 6 year/120M deal from the Mets. In todays baseball market, you get Carlos Silva and Gil Meche for $20M, or Johan Santana. Hello....McFLY! I hate to say this, but the Mets can quit bitching about this extension.

The difference is that guy is on a team with an insane owner who wants more than the Mariners 3 top prospects (which are better than anything the Mets have).

What the hell are they whining about? If we don't have a beef with Tampa over Zambrano, who lasted 3 starts before getting hurt in 2004, they have no beef with us.

There is no way the Twins do that. Now your Bedard trade seems possible. I think we should focus on plan A first. I did mention this a long time ago. Assuming we can't get either would we settle for adding Blanton and Snell? Pedro, Maine, Blanton, Snell, Perez? That's young rotation (aside from Pedro) with potential. So even though our package of

No one wants Humber, Gotay is worthless for the last time...we got him for Jeff keppinger!!!!!!! littlle willie that package wont even get you a discount on a game ticket from the Twins…thast why you cant cause Santana will cost all pitching prospects as well as either gomez or fmart and maybe both…since the mets pitching prospects are not too well though of…

Trade 1 -- Gomez, Mulvey, Humber, Niese for Santana Trade 2 -- Fmart, Heilman, Guera, Gotay for Bedard *Yanks are out, Boston is only in b/c of the Yanks. If twins want another arm, give it to them! *O's want 2 mlb ready and 1 or 2 good prospects (also keen on position players and looking for late innings) *Johan, Bedard, Maine, Perez (Pedro if he remains healthy) is the best rotation in baseball for the next 3-5 yrs. *Wright, Reyes, Beltran, Castillo are all locked in and vital *Church, Schneider locked in and serviceable *Give extension to Delgado if he plays well. We already know he doesn't need to be great *At most looking for 2 FA for 2009, neither of which must be stellar. *I don't see the need for a top farm system with this team. We are not even close to rebuilding. Let them go and bring home 2 rings Win now – that’s what we should want for this team!
