Read: Glavine and Victorino on Santana
Braves LHP Tom Glavine, as quoted by MLB.com…
“I don’t think this makes [the Mets] the class of the division. I think it puts them in a position where there rotation is much better and that was their biggest need. Within the division, I think you have three teams that can now not only win the division, but also the World Series.”
…but, really, what did you expect him to say…
Phillies CF Shane Victorino, as quoted by Phillies reporter Ken Mandel, also at MLB.com…
“I’m game on. Did they become the team to beat because they got one pitcher? I’m not going to say that.
“It’s one significant move, but we made four moves to make our team better.”
…it should be noted that victorino is counting on himself moving to center as one of those four moves…apparently Aaron Rowand was insignificant…but, i digress, game on indeed, shane…
Lastly, Jim Molony at MLB.com thinks the trade for Santana will reshape more than just the N.L. East race.
Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia, as quoted by Moloney…
“I was working out, and I said to a bunch of the guys I was working out with, ‘I’m glad that guy is out of the American League’ and everyone started laughing except for the guys that are in the National League.”
…added to by Matthew Cerrone…
…it must be the day of confusing quotes…
…i mean, what does I’m Game On mean…
…maybe it has something to do with that eggs and shoes quote from the Braves fan…it’s like the rest of the league is speaking in some strange code...
