Not sure this week. Eddie Royal had a great game vs Oakland but Brandon Marshall will be back so not sure what to do.
Thanks|||Santana for sure, Eddie Royal had a great coming out party in Week 1 but Brandon Marshall will be back for Week 2 and he will take at least half of those catches away.
Hang on to Royal though, there is a chance that as the season develops Marshall will draw coverage and Royal will have a great fantasy year( a la Houshmanszadeh) don't count on it against San Diego though, unlike Oakland they CAN pressure the QB.|||Washington looked terrible last week against the Giants. But, you never know if and/or when they'll get it together. And, when they do, Moss will get you some good points. Problem is that he's inconsistent, with 100+ yards and 2 TDs one week, and then 19 yards and no TDs the next.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what to expect out of Royal in Week 2. After all, the Broncos played the hopelessly hapless Raiders. Next week they're going up against a good San Diego secondary at home in Denver. And, don't let that game against Carolina fool you. The defensive starters were flat and were obviously trying to hard to make the big play on defense, trying to live up to the hype from 2007. Look them to get back to a more methodical style of play and give Cutler a lot more trouble than Oakland did.
Also, Brandon Marshall is coming back. So, he'll definitely be the go-to guy for Cutler. Although he may be used as a decoy on a number of plays, Royal will still have to share a number of looks with the Denver tight ends and Brandon Stokley.
I would go with Santana Moss for now. But, keep an eye on Royal's performance and the Broncos' opponents over the next few weeks. And, if Moss isn't doing it for you, don't be afraid to slip Royal in against a good match-up.|||Don't get too enamored with Eddie Royal just yet - he's only played in ONE game. Moss is a proven commodity and regardless of matchup he's always capable of putting up big numbers. He's also the top receiver for his team. Denver will have Marshall back so Royal won't get near the looks. I'd go with Moss.|||The skins do not look good. We have a mediocre qb and there is no chemistry on the team right now. Redskins are my home team but I don't think theyre gonna cut it even against NO defense. I'd risk Royal against the San Diego defense. But it is a tough call cause that D can be real tough.|||I'd go with Moss, NO's secondary can be had easily, plus Brandon Marshall will be back in the Broncos lineup next week and he's the go-to guy.|||Moss
Saints have no secondary

Is it possible for the Twins to withdraw the trade before the Mets and Santana iron out a deal?
What happens if they wake up and they feel shafted and decide they would rather keep him for another year? Is it too late for that?|||No. The deal is done, and can only be broken if (1) the Mets don't get a long-term deal done, or (2) one of the players fail a physical (always a possibility).
Even if the physical were failed, unless it is a long-term impact injury, the Twins still might do the deal.
Santana is in essence like a used car right now -- he is a depreciating asset. When the Yanks and Sox bowed out, the amount of suitors with the cash to pay Santana stupid money dropped greatly.
If they back out of the Mets deal, you are left really with only LA or possibly Chitown with the $$ to do a deal. The deal would only get worse.|||Well, I believe both the Yankees and the Red Sox offer was better (before Jan. 1), the Twins still got an OK deal. The problem is, the Yanks pulled Hughes from the deal after Jan. 1 and the Red Sox wouldn't put Lester with Ellsbury. So those two deals really lost their appeal, so they either trade him to the Mets for some promising prospects, or let him walk for a draft pick after this season and we know how 1st round draft picks are not like they are in other sports.
But they waited and dragged this thing out for much too long. GM's like to have an almost complete image of their team after the New Year, and the Yanks decided they won't be played by the Twins and changed their offer.
So realistically, after everything I mentioned above, I think they made a good deal by picking the Mets offer, because their only real option, was to let him walk.
The Twins should NOT have kept him for another year, they stunk with Santana, and will stink with him for another year. This way, they get something out of it.|||I don't think they can back out now. They made the committment. Only the Mets have the option of backing away - and that's on;y based upon a poor physical or the inability to reach a long-term contract deal with Santana.|||I think they probably can but they're not in a financial position to sign him to a new contract for the kind of money he'll be after when he comes up for free agency so they will be better off taking the four prospects. I think the guys the Mets are offering are ok but nothing like the Yankees were offering.|||as an Indians fan, I am glad he is going to the Mets and not NYY. Thank you, Twinkies! ----%26gt; although Cleveland was 5-0 against Santana in 2007.|||Piss poor organization up ther in minny they kind of remind me of the Boston Bruins brass.

What episode on Glee season 1 do Santana & Brittany have their fight?
In season 1 there is an episode where the girls get into a huge fight when Brittany starts hanging with Quinn. Which one is this? Thanks!|||Are you talking about Duets? That's in the 2nd season... You could be talking about Throw down... I am a Glee expert. I have a Glee poster, a Glee calender and a Glee necklace. I know every Glee episode by heart and there is no episode that exactly matches your question. I think you are talking about Throw Down. Where Sue takes half the club and Schue takes the other half and they prepare for Sectionals. Sue takes Santana but not Brittany or Quinn. So hope this helps! :)
Will the Haren trade accelerate the fight to acquire Santana?
As teams lined up to take a shot at trading for Santana, the conventional wisdom was that they wouldn't push too hard, since they could always go after Haren if they didn't get Johan. Now that Haren is gone, do you think any teams will flinch, and give up the huge ransom that the Twins are asking for?|||i hope so im a twins fan|||No why would they want just santana when they could have had Haren and Santana
If they get Santana they would be so stupid
If they get Santana they would be so stupid
I have a WR slot open for week 7. Should I start Santana Moss, Doug Baldwin or Hayward Bey?
Please provide a reason for your answer. Thanks!|||Hayward-Bey has a very good match up, but with Boller starting, I would go with Baldwin this week. Moss could be okay, but the Panthers give up more fantasy points to RBs than any other defense - Washington is likely to be running a lot this week.|||I would go with Bey or Moss.
Should the Mets trade Jose Reyes for Johan Santana?
There are rumors that they would trade Santana for Reyes straight up. As a Mets fan I would rather them trade a three or four man combination of Pelfry, Humber, Gomez, Martinez or Milledge. What do you think?|||The Twins would NEVER give up the best pitcher in the world for Jose Reyes, that would be completely asinine.
.|||Even though Reyes didn't perform at the end of the season, he is still too valuable for the Mets to give up. I mean, the OBP, walks, and stolen bases are too much to give up. The Mets would rather give up Gomez or Lastings, and probably a couple of the players you mentioned. I agree completely with you.|||If i was a mets fan WHICH I WILL NEVER BE, i would rather do 4 for 1 also, especially cause they would get rid of milledge, but i wouldn't do santana for reyes straight up because reyes is a MET, not a TWIN, and that shouldnt change, also they can trade for dan haren by giving away 2 of those prospects!|||Reyes is younger and cheaper, on top of that they'd have to go out and get another SS. It would just complicate things for the Mets and their offseason plans.|||No its so dumb yes we need pitching but there are other guys out there. We could eric bernard from baltimore for a lower price. What we really should have done was make a trade for dtrain or harden.|||KEEP REYES. Santana will get up in years way before Reyes does. Furthermore, Reyes has a major impact every day. Santana has a major impact every five days.
Jose Reyes is the catalyst for this Mets team. When Reyes goes, the Mets go. He is a cornerstone player and should be considered virtually untouchable.
Go with a different combo, or look at Haren or Blanton. Santana is a money, big-game pitcher, but what the Mets really need right now are innings-eaters. They need to save the bullpen. If they do that, they should be all right. They don't necessarily need Santana. Too steep a price, I think.|||Its not a Reyes for Santana straight up Mets still need to include middle level prospects. The Twins have said they don't like Mets prospects they aren't as good as the Yankees or Red Sox in value.|||Gee, let's think about this. Why not ask should the Mets try to make it with a lame pitching staff. No offense, but the Mets need Santana worse than they need Reyes. The benefit of having Santana is far greater.|||I'm a Dodgers fan, but I completely agree with you trading those 3 or 4 players would way better than trading Reyes. But even so the more I think about it... the more I think that The Mets can't pass up Santana, if you have him in postseason you can ride him to the WS! I don't really think you can ride Reyes to the WS! Do you?|||And who, might I ask, will play shortstop? Andy Hernandez can't hit the broad side of a barn.|||Yes, it would be better to trade the three or four man combination. The Mets should trade Jose Reyes only if they can acquire a suitable shortstop/leadoff hitter to partially take his place.|||The unfortunate part of the game today is that the money is so big and players are always in motion so there is never a consistent core on most teams for longer than 2 or 3 seasons. The Mets have strong components to building that with Reyes and Wright -- two young all stars with tremendous potential. While he had a less than stellar end to 2007 (as did the team), I wouldn't deal away half of that combo -- even if it is for Santana. With the Mets' luck, old Johan would blow out his arm halfway into the season, and then where would they be? As a lifelong Mets fan, we've paid the price too often. Conclusion: Pass if the deal includes Reyes.|||That's just crazy.... Reyes is just about the best all around player in the game. I couldn't imagine them trading him for anyone...especially not Santana (who showed signs of being a normal pitcher last year)|||Omar Minaya has publicly stated that they will not include Jose Reyes in any trade.|||NO.. and if Omar did agree (he has already stated that they would not be trading Jose).. I would have to find myself a new team.|||I would never trade Reyes for Santana that is just insane! Pitchers thrive on good defense and Reyes is arguably the best SS in the game right now,remove him from the Mets infield equasion and a big hole will open up. And with David Wright's multiple throwing errors the left side would become very weak. It sounds like the Twins expect way to much for thier guy.
I would move Wright to first, so he doesn't have to throw as much, trade Delgado,Humber,Pelfry and Heilman in exchange for Santana. If they don't want this deal they could go to the Stankees who will pay anything for a super all star team that chokes in the first round. The Mets should focus on a third base man, Cabrera and Dontrell would do great here in Flushing.

Whats the mets acquisition of santana going to do on us?
When the mets face us in interleague play, we'll still win right? The Yankees are a better team so I dont want to hear it from mets fans and newly bandwagoned mets fans at that.|||What are you smoking? Common sense tells u that the mets are gonna pummel them roundly.|||what do you mean you'll "still" win, what is this, the yankees are the best team by merit and they'll win just by you saying so? hahahahaha, typical cocky yankee fan.|||I got confused when you used the term 'us'. Which position do you play on the NY Yankees.
With or without Santana, individual interleague games are a crap shoot. You could be a better team (overall) and lose all three. Look at when the Yankees play the Devil Rays.
If the Yankees face the Mets and the Mets have Santana going, a healthy Pedro and a balanced Oliver Perez, you may be going home 0-3. But so what, that doesn't prove anything anyway.
My prediction is that one NY team will make the playoffs and one won't and Yankee fans, if they want to see a playoff game, will have to see an NL one.|||It will be interesting!|||Now when you said still win, last year when the mets played the yankees six times, the mets won 3 and the yanks won 3.
Now, the yanks have some what of a pitching problem, they need to re-sign Chein Ming Wang, which they shouldnt have any problems.
Now when Johan Santana is pitching, one game, he will have a ball, 6 of the yankees ( 5 if a right hander is pitching at shea) are lefies and Sanatana has a ball with lefties, he struck out 82 lefties and only gave up about 40 hits, so i think that this year the mets will take 4 out of 6, considering that Joba gets moved to the Rotation and they get Wang back|||The Yankees won't be in the playoffs this year.|||Right now, the Mets appear to be the better team in New York.
...and, I don't think Omar is done, I believe there will be another trade and free agent signing coming.|||Hoss? You need to keep an eye on the World Champion Boston Red Sox. The Mets are gonna put an end to any Yankees, thinking about a championship. Deal with it!!|||yankees suck
they can't beat the red sox, so you should worry about them first, before the mets|||look, i dont think the mets are that good either, but its time yankee fans get out of this illusion that their team is still a powerhouse, the yanks will probably finish lower in the standings than the mets, i dont see anyway around it, at least the mets have a legit number one now, and they have legit young stars in reyes, wright and beltran
the yanks have used to be stars like jeter, giambi and posada, the only youngsters that are going to perform all that well will be cano and cabrera, but they wont be that good

What are the chanced of Santana staying with the Twins?
He's pissed at the team AND basically a superhero. I love him so much and I was there a few days ago when he pitched his amazing 17 strikeout game. I really wish he would stay with Minnesota, but I don't know if that's likely to happen. What do you think?|||Slim to none, the Twins cannot afford to keep a player who will receive $20+ million in the free market. He would almost make up 1/3-1/2 of the payrole. This would be like the A's paying Zito a top free-agent salary. It just can't be done. I'm sorry but he belongs to the Yankees next season.
Damn Yankees.|||Unfortunately it's not likely. In order to keep him they will have to get free agents or make some trades to compete. If he doesn't believe they will be able to compete he won't stay. However, if they make the decision to obtain the necessary players they won't be able to afford him. So basically he will replace Andy Pettite in the Yankees rotation once Andy retires. So all the Yankee haters should be prepared to get all upset yet again.|||he good but hes goin to the mets honey|||zero absolutly nothing they cant afford him. Teams interested would be Yankees, Mets, Angels, Cubs, and maybe the Mariners|||I'd say after the way he talked about management, he won't sign an extension.|||Highly doubtful. He's the face of their franchise but they wont do much of anything to make their team a serious contender. Hopefully he'll come to the Mets, that would be awesome.|||....very slim, I see him with the Mets or the Dodgers!!!|||The Chances of Santana staying with the Twins is very low because the organization has not shown a willingness to re-sign their key veterans. The same fate will probably happen with Torii Hunter since he is a free agent after the year. The Twins will probably look for a less expensive free agent to replace Santana.|||i would say not very likely because when the twins traded away castillo to the mets he questioned the organization desire to win in the press. i would say hes going to a big market team who has the chance to win it all. possibly la angels|||the chances are near zero, just hearing the way he blasted managment for their lack of making moves to be a contender shows when contract comes up he isnt going to even talk to him. all honestly i would bet the yankees will be hot for him and ready to throw him lots of money|||The Twins need to keep him. He is the leader of the team and without him, the Twins are nothing. Silva, Bonser, Garza and Baker all look up to Santana and always pitch a good game after Santana pitches a good game.|||Santana is my favorite player too! I don't think he will stay, the Twins don't have a good enough team to keep him. He'll probably go to the Yankees, which I like, or the Angels, and maybe any other team who has a chance to win it all. Let's hope he comes to the hometown Blue Jays! Or the Diamondbacks!|||The same chance as Sabathia staying with the Tribe. Slim to none. To many teams willing to pay whatever it takes to try and win.

Is Santana D in danger of losing the top 10, how sad would that be in this forum?
I heard great things about Santana D. I know he passed away and is one of the most respected people in Y.A history. But now I did not realize that he's number 10 and so he will soon be gone from the rankings. What can we do to keep him in the rankings?|||I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?
Blogbaba probably has the answer. He's the president of the boxing section.|||I love the respect that everyone has for Santana D. Maybe we could as toughguy proposed this week have a YA Boxing awards...and the top answerer for the year can get the Santana D award.

How much would Johan Santana be worth as a free agent?
Given the money they gave people like JD Drew and Gil Meche, and the fat Zito contract, I'm curious about what they'd have to pay him.|||Obviously he is the premiere pitcher in the game at this moment. He could command a deal in excess of $20 million a year and possibly get ARod dollars and approach $25 million. But after the prices paid this off season I think the term "market adjustment" will be used a lot for the next 3 or 4 years like it was in the 90's (remember the collusion lawsuit filed by the players association) and it will likely happen again. i know the Twins are hopeful of a "market adjustment" otherwise they will have to look into dealing him when contract time comes around, no way they can pay what he can command on the open market.|||Johan is a better pitcher than Zito, though somehow id think he'd end up getting less.|||he'll be more than Zito..i say he'll get 5 years 150 million..possibly less tho|||Given the huge contracts and stats of other pitchers, I'd say he would be in the 100, 125 million dollar range for about 9 years.|||i say more that barry zito's contract|||tons, like 1,000,000,000$|||Well, i will that when he is a free agent, he will be worth more than he is getting by the minnesota twins right now.
Right now, he is getting aprx 30 million a year by the Twins, and can possibly be worth less as he gets older.
But that doesn't get rid of the fact that he's a future hall of famer.|||If Zito gets 17 million a year. I would have to pay Santana 5 times as much money because he is a 5 times better player than Zito.|||I would say roughly 6 years, $150 million and it won't be coming from the Twins. I would think the Yankees / Mets would drive the bidding price up.|||I would say about 20 million per in this ridiculous market.|||If Santana were on the market today, I can easily see him making around $20 million per season, particularly if the Sox, Yanks, or Mets want him. If Schilling retires, I can see the Sox pushing hard for him.|||I would say 20-25 million a year if he was a free agent this year. Hopefully, by the time he becomes a free agent, things will have chnged enough so that he will be able to stay with the Twins in their new stadium and play his whole career for the same team.|||AROUND 25 MILLION A YEAR.

Do you still consider Johan Santana the best pitcher in baseball?
It was just yesterday how everyone was praising Johan. Now with Lincecum, Haren, Greinke, and all these younger guys coming up, seems like people forgot about my boy. There's no doubt that these young guys are great, but if there's a big game and I need someone to go out there for me, give me Johan Santana. What do you think?
BTW, I didn't forget about Roy Halladay..|||No, he is still a very good pitcher, but not the best.|||he is one of the top pitchers but not the best anymore.|||He is definately in the top 5 pitchers this year IMO. Active players' careers he is probably in the top 2.|||Santana is my favorite pitcher in the game today, he is great and is always exciting to watch. And they don't forget about Johan, but I was very mad that he didn't pitch in the All Star game, he probably wouldn't have gave up a run, and it would've costed them the game. But he is amazing, and I personally will never forgot Johan.|||Ya, the media and fans always go with the flavor of the day. Right now, Santana is not pitching great and those other pitchers are pitching better. Once Johan starts pitching like Johan, people will be praising him as the next Jesus Christ. It always works that way.|||I think the three best are Santana, Halladay, and Greinke. I'm not going to put them in order, because they're all dominant, but in different ways. I don't think Santana is the overall best, but he still gives the Phillies one heck of a hard time.|||In my mind he's still the best pitcher in baseball.
He's been more consistent and has done it for a longer time than most of the new young pitchers out here.
Id still build my pitching rotation around Johan Santana before anybody else. Its always good to have a dominant lefty in your rotation|||He is great, but saying he is the best is arguable (did I spell that right.)|||he a great pitcher but not the best,he is one of the best.|||I say he is the best left handed pitcher in baseball. He is very good, but he is in a big time pitcher's ball park this year, the Mets give him no run support, and the Yankees gave him his worst outing of the year raising his ERA by nearly 1 last month.
He could very easily have 14 wins right now if the Mets had any sort of offense when he takes the mound.
So, best lefty in baseball hands down, possibly best pitcher in MLB.|||Halladay = best pitcher of his era. Greinke and Lincecum need to be at the top for a few more years before they can challenge that title!
Santana is the best lefty, but I'd rather have Halladay because he just pitches every game like his life is on the line! He is really driven.|||If someone gave me one pitcher in baseball, and that pitcher was Johan Santana, I certainly wouldn't quibble.|||I think Santana is the best lefty in the MLB.|||yeah definitely.

Will the Yankees pull a Tigers move and steal Johan Santana away from the Red Sox?
Due to the fact that the Red Sox are taking too long to make the trade for Johan Santana?

The Angels put together a very good package for Cabrera, and the Marlins essentially spit in their faces and said, "Yeah right, you can do better." Don't be fooled. The Marlins have some of the best scouts in MLB, and they know exactly what they're getting from the Tigers. They'll have two major league ready players for next season, and probably at least 2 of the other 4 will be pro by 2009.
To answer your question though, I really don't see the Yankees swooping in for Santana.

Personally I hate the place, even more now that conspicuous overspending is revealing its dark side. I'd rather save my money and go and visit a real city like nearby San Francisco. Still, if this place goes under it will devastate the local economy and become another blight of abandoned space and decaying buildings.|||well I was there yesterday buying a computer at best buy and the amount of people walking around santana row was average but didn't look like the economy had any affect cause several people where coming out of the stores with huge bags !|||Hey, I admit that it's all we have got and that dosent amount to much but it is nice there . Better than nothing. I live down the street from it and the wife and I have been going there for about 4 years now. I haven't seen any change to be honest. I think bad economies are built to starve the poor first. Seems to be on track with that. Next the lower middle class will be joining the military... Oh...., already happening. ... Oh well. At least we have Santana Row!

What happened to Santana Moss on Sunday?
Did Santana Moss get injured or was he inactive for Sunday's game against Philly? I couldn't see the game and I can't find anything about him other than he didn't put up any yards in that game - which unless he was on the sidelines, I find hard to believe.|||Washington was taking what the Eagle D gave them. Moss has been the big play guy and was a focus for the D. Washington didn't run many plays to him. He did have one catch which was nullified by a penalty.|||I believe David is thinking about Randle El, who was used on the reverse to throw a TD pass to Cooley...Santana started, he played, didn't get hurt, but was completely shut out of the game. He didn't drop any balls, he only got thrown to once and he caught the ball for an 8-yard catch...but there was a penalty on the play and the catch got called back...
So he didn't record a single catch. Philly's gameplan was to take him competely out of the game to keep the big play from happening...but I guess they forgot that Portis and Cooley were on this team as well.
Moss had a rough week this week, but the Redskins next three opponents total up to have a 1-11 record (Rams, Lions and Browns)...so expect him to explode in the next three weeks.|||no he was their. he dropped 3 balls that he should've caught, and they used him on reverses to set up a touchdown pass in the third. so, his offensive yards came in the form of a 23 yrd touchdown pass. no receptions.

Why did the Yankees front office pull Hughes out of the Johan Santana trade negotiations?
Who the hell do they think they are? they can pull hughes out and still get minnesota to accept?|||First of all, the Twins were completely trying to "rape" the Yankees, with the help of the Red Sox. The original offer made by the Yankees was the best offer anyone could have made for a player with Santana's stats.They insisted on Melky and Hughes, then Ian Kennedy. That's all due to the Red Sox desire to completely control the AL East. Even with the start they had they almost collapsed and the Yankees almost took the East. The Red Sox made a deal so weak for Santana, including Coco Crisp and Jon Lester, the Twins couldn't make that deal because they would expose that they were in cohoots with MLB to keep the Yankees down!!! It's just a thought!!! Good for the Mets!!!!|||they probably were never all that serious about trying to get him or they would have made a much better offer, like one that involved two of those young pitchers they were so high up on
if they had really wanted to make sure they got santana then they would have quickly moved to make an offer the twins couldnt refuse, in lieu of such a deal one just has to assume the yankees only made an offer to the twins in an attempt to stay relevant during the offseason and so that when they choke this year they can at least say "well we tried to get santana"|||It was obvious the yankees and red sox never really wanted him. They were in a bidding war just to prevent each other from picking him up. Also johan wanted to play in the NL. It is easier to pitch against and also he has a hidden secret. He likes to hit. I am a die hard yankees fan but lets be real, our pitching problem is not going to be solved by buying the best pitcher on the market. It has NOT worked in the past 5 years. We will be just as good without him especally 5 or 6 years down the road.|||The Yankees were not willing to give up their young talent to get Santana. It was a risk either way, Santana could get hurt and cost you alot of young talent, or since they decided to keep the young guns, these prospects could turn out to be flops. The Yankees are banking on the fact that Hughes and Joba have the potential to be "Santana-like" pitchers in the future. Hey, take it easy, this is like the first time ever that the yankees havent gone out and gotten the best player in baseball by offering him a bashillion dollars. See what its like to actually grow your own talent, and who knows, the yankees might actually win something for a change!...but not for a long time, because the Red Sox have already gone through the whole growing talent phase, and now they have a powerhouse team that is all under contract for the next season and seasons to come.|||Well, they accepted the Mets and you didn't see Hughes in that deal, did you?
They didn't want to lose Hughes and they think they are the Yankees and they didn't really care inf the Twins accepted unless it was on the Yankees terms.|||Remember they said if Torre didn't win that series, that he wouldn't be back, then offered him this much reduced, incentive laden contract that everyone knew was insulting just to save face.
I am by no means a Yankee fan, but I am actually proud of them for no trying to get Santana (ew, I think I just threw up a little inside when I said proud)
From them, I wouldn't have even settled on Hughes, it would have been Chamberlain and one of Hughes and Kennedy.
They decided to keep their prospects and develop them and potentially miss the playoffs this year to start to repair the chemistry that is missing.
Good for them.|||Philip Hughes Is The New York Yankees Franchise Player.|||Acquiring Johan Santana would require Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and the Twins wanted a few more good prospects. Because Santana is only signed for 2008, the Yankees would also have had to throw in about $150 million to sign him. Sure, the Yankees might have a lot of money but $150 million for anyone is a large sum. I'm frankly glad that they kept Hughes. He could turn out to be better than Santana in the future. He could of course turn out to be worse, but Santana to the Mets was NOT the worst case scenario for the Yankees and I would not consider them stupid for deciding to keep their younger talent that could turn out to be more valuable in the future.
After all, Phil Hughes was the top pitching prospect in baseball for one, maybe two years.|||they thought huges had too much potential to give up for johan with everyone else they were going to give him.

What separates the great pitchers (Santana, Peavy) from the average pitchers in baseball?
What do the elite do differently?|||Location- Pitchers like Greg Maddux has had a Hall of fame career by hitting the right spots at the right time.
Movement- The best pitchers don't always throw the hardest though it helps. Aaron Harang only throws in the low 90s, but his fastball moves a lot, so it is hard to track. Whereas, at this point, Tom Gordon's fastball which is more in the mid 90s just goes straight and that is why he is afraid to throw it in the strike zone.
Setting up a batter- Keep them off balance, by changing speeds and locations. That is why the best can make hitters look so bad. I have seen Cole Hamels make batters look ridiculous with his changeup because he sets it up.
Pressure and confidence- Big games, trust your stuff to get the out. Forget the past.
In short, a lot.|||Control better, have more speed or break, smarter, have more pitches i guess.|||Yeah its all about location and pitching IQ.
If you stay on the corners, batters have alot more trouble squaring up the ball and hitting for power. Also, even though they have over powering stuff they still pick their spots to challenge the hitter. You aren't going to blow every batter away, effective use of off speed pitches mixed in with well located fastballs is the key to keeping the hitters off balance.|||control, and being able to fool hitters by changing speed. thats about it. Having good movement on off speed pitchers are key, and if you can hit locations like the great ones your set.|||BRAIN AND SKILL TO WIN THE BIG GAMES.|||It comes down to pitch selection and location. A great pitcher will know the count and what to throw the batter. A great pitcher also will have the control to hit a spot. The one other thing that great pitchers have is memory. Great pitchers forget what just happened and take every pitch individually while remembering the weaknesses of every batter they face.|||Location, Location and more Location. There are tons of pitchers who throw 95 MPH and there are tons of pitchers who have sharp breaking balls. Daniel Cabrera from the Orioles is an Elite athelete who can touch 100 MPH with his fastball but last year he had one of the leagues worst ERAs. The reason is he has no clue where that 100 MPH fastball is goin. Santana tops out at 93-94 MPH but can put that pitch anywhere he wants it within probably an inch or two.|||Command of their pitches, control, movement of the ball, and knowledge of the hitters gives these two pitchers an added advantage over most other pitchers.|||THe biggest thing that they have that an average pitcher has is not control or excessive spped...it is knowledge of how to pitch istead of just throwing. You need control, speed helps but pitching is a something different. You take someone like Greg Maddux who has never had overpowering stuff but has been a fabulous pitcher because he knows how to pitch, what pitch is right in what situation, what the batter will bite on, what spot to hit in the count. Peavy, Santana, Webb these are all pitchers who get this, they understand that pitching is an art form and a match of wits, they come prepared and get the job done...if Felix Hernandez ever finally gets this he will be UNREAL...he is a thrower not a pitcher because he is relying solely on god given ability and no thought to try and win.|||what separates ellite pitchers from really good pitchers is consistancy.

Will the mets and santana come to an agreement before the Friday deadline?

I forsee Santana asking for 150-ish over 7 with a signing bonus of about 8 mil. The Mets don't wanna go over 5 years, so they'd go for, let's say, 130 over 5 with a 15 mil bonus to top Zito, but Peter Greenberg (Santana's agent) will want more than 5 years.
Final outcome: 150 mil over 6 years with a signing bonus of 12 million. That raises his 2008 salary (old contract) from 13 mil to 25, with an avg of 25 over the contract. I'd assume the Mets will backload it as a precaution, meaning that his 2009 and 2010 salaries will be less than 25 mil, but 2011-2014 will be more. This is done in case Santana begins to fall apart or gets injured a lot.

Who do you think has the best shot at Johan Santana?
I thought the Yankees did but now I think it's the Red Sox. Twins need a center fielder and the Sox have Ellsbury %26amp; Crisp. Sox have Lester and Bucholtz and a larger farm pool. Yankees have Chamberlain who is untouchable, that leaves Hughes and Melky and a few probably not worth talking about.

In what ways can Carlos Santana be considered one of the greatest guitarists?
Because its more then obvious hes one of the greatest guitarists to ever play and i want to get some of your opinions.|||All of the great guitarists are great for the same reasons:
1. Distinctive sound ( Carlos sounds like no one else).
2. Originality
3. Technical precision (he seems to never miss a note).
4. The ability to sit in with others and sound as though they've played together before.
Other guitarists who can do this: Warren Haynes, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman (RIP), Robert Randolph, Nels Cline, Derek Trucks, Al Schnier, Jake Cinninger, Jimmy Herring.|||First off Santana was not just hot between the 90s and 2000s, he was hot from when his albums starting coming out in the late 60s, and he was also one of the best acts at Woodstock. Carols Santana was originally in his own wing of the Latin Rock of Fame, neither playing Afro-Cuban with rock guitar, as did Malo, nor flavoring mainstrean rock with percussion as did Chicago. His first record, as with the best fusion, created something a little different than just a mixture - a new style that, surprisingly remains all his own. Granted that Latin music has seeped into the mainstream since, but why aren't Van Halen and Metallica listening to this? Where they simmer, Santana boils over.
Carlos Santana's fusion of Latin rhythms and blues-rock was way ahead of it's time. In the mid 1970s he discovered jazz and Indian spiritualism, changed his name to Carlos Devadip and recored John Coltrane tunes. By the end of the 1990s he's sunk into semi-obscurity, but then surprised everyone by storming back with the best-selling album of his career and winning eight Grammies.

Anyway.... To answer your question correctly,
What Makes Carlos so great is the fact that at the time he came on the music scene there weren't many guitarists out there that could incorporate or fuse the latino sound into mainstream rock guitar playing like he did and still continues to do today BECAUSE HE'S STILL ALIVE.........which no one else was doing at the time in the late 60's.
More Importantly his mexican roots are always apparent in his musical style of playing the guitar as well as his persona.Carlos has a distinctive sound that is his trademark and cannot be duplicated by anyone else which is what sets him up on the top of my list of best ever guitar players.....|||alot of the best guitarists are around the same skill level, the way santana got famous was because he was featured on a lot of the latin songs when that was really popular around the 90's-2000's|||In no way. Carlos Santana is not among the greatest guitarists.|||The way he adds color to his songs by the way he picks the strings. It's hard to explain...but it's the little things....the details he adds.|||I don't know, in my opinion Frank Zappa is the best guitarist to have ever lived.
1. Distinctive sound ( Carlos sounds like no one else).
2. Originality
3. Technical precision (he seems to never miss a note).
4. The ability to sit in with others and sound as though they've played together before.

Should I start Chris Perry or Santana Moss in my flex spot for week 4?
Perry is playing a horrible Cleveland defense and Santana is playing a tough Dallas D, but you can expect that Washington will be throwing a lot of Dallas takes a good lead.|||santana is in the top 3 recievers in most leagues right now. gotta start him. jason campbell looks better and dallas' secondary is no good|||Perry.

Why do the Mets bats take the night off when Santana pitches?
This is his 7th game and the Mets bats have scored a total of 5 runs and that includes tonight's game with 1 run.
He just pitched another 6.1 inning gem only to have two errors committed and the bullpen to blow the game.|||His rotation spot has him pitching against the opposing teams Ace the majority of the time, lets not forget that. I think Santana is the best pitcher in the game now but we can't take anything away from the opposing teams pitcher. The guys he goes against are intended to, and able to, stifle offenses.
His seven starts are as follows:
Mets 2 - Reds 1
W: Johan Santana (1-0), L: Aaron Harang (0-1)
Mets 1 - Marlins 2
W: Josh Johnson (2-0), L: Johan Santana (1-1)
Mets 1 - Brewers 0
W: Johan Santana (2-1), L: Carlos Villanueva (1-2)
Mets 4 - Nationals 3
W: Johan Santana (3-1), L: Scott Olsen (0-3)
Mets 3 - Marlins 4
ND: Johan Santana (3-1), ND: Josh Johnson (2-0)
Mets 1 - Phillies 0
W: Johan Santana (4-1), ND: Chan Ho Park (0-1)
Tonight he faced Derek Lowe who is 4-1 and Johan will either get a loss or get a ND.
The Mets DEFENSE has been causing Santana more problems than their offense.|||yeh obviously Santana doent get suported by his teamates' offensive.|||Yeah, Santana has been getting lousy run support. He's been pitching well, but if he has a bad game, the Mets will get murdered because of their bats.|||They get tired.|||i know man i am no Mets fan but i really like Santana, since he was with the Twins and i like to see him win and the Mets for some reason have not been able to put some runs on the board for him
maybe they just really can't hit in the clutch or play big when it matters the most that's why they have been knocked down by the Phillies the past 2 seasons|||They seem to think that they don't have to worry about offense when Johan pitches, because they think he'll be pitching shutouts everytime hes out. sadly, they can't score the 1 run in the first place to win em the game|||I WAS LISTENING TO THE COMMENTATOR AND APPARENTLY THE METS LIKE TO SCREW SANTANA WITH A TOTAL OF 2 RUNS PER GAME OR LESS THIS SEASON. I HEARD IT'S BECAUSE THE TEAM RELY'S TOO MUCH ON SANTANA BEING AN ACE AND ASSUME HE CAN KEEP THE OTHER TEAM FROM GETTING ANY REALLY GOOD HITS OF OF HIM.
THE METS NEED TO PUT SOME FIRE UNDER THEIR PLAYERS' ASSESS.....NOW SANTANA HAS ANOTHER LOSS THAT ISN'T HIS DOING.
JENNIFER|||Derek Lowe is a good pitcher.
He had a good night.
The Mets won 7 strait, the streak had to end sometime.|||No idea but its driving me crazy!|||They won't admit in public, or even to each other, but probably, in the backs of thier minds, they figure they only need a run or two to win when he's pitching, and so they don't try as hard.
The really sad thing is that the runs scored on him were unearned. Pretty rare to see a guy LOSE a game and have his ERA go DOWN, esp when it was under 1.00 to begin with|||with wright, reyes, and delgado in a slump its hard to put up runs. Beltran cant be the only run producer|||It's sad you know. He's really been pitching great. The offense and the defense really got to step it up when he's on the mound.|||I have no idea. All i can say is that Jerry HAS to get to the bottom of this. It is pointless having the best pitcher in baseball when we refuse to score runs. It is also pointless having the best pitcher in baseball if he will leave for no reason after 6 perfect innings. Wake up Jerry if you want to remian even close to the top spot.

How much do facials cost at Lavande Nail Spa in Santana Row?
I've checked on their website and I've tried contacting them but I've been unsuccessful. They don't answer phone calls or e-mails, and there are no prices mentioned on their website. Does anyone have any idea?|||it veries a lot but pretty much 30+ dollars depending on what type you get and how long you get it for.
What are some accomplishments of Carlos Santana?
I need maybe 5 or more brief bullet points that display the accomplishments of Carlos Santana and how he helped the Mexican community.|||1)he reached across many genres of music and worked with a lot of artists of different races which in turn built bridges of communication among us all.
2)he showed his ability to kick drug abuse(did the big H "Heroin" back in the 60's)
3)he became devoutly spiritual,became a disciple of Chimnoy in the early 70's,changed his name to "Devadip" Carlos Santana along with John Mclaughlin changing his to "Mahavishnu"/they jammed a lot
4)gave a sense of pride to the Mexican community with his overall talent and heyday popularity/success
5)Just a cool dude,an elegant cat these days...in 2004 I worked a "Michelle Branch" concert in San francisco and Carlos stopped by and dropped a bouquet of roses off for her...got to briefly exchange words with him...he seemed open and cool|||Are you for real xhigherg? Carlos Santana is a great musician and a great humanitarian and man over the year he has played with musician from all walks of life. I live in Philly and I remember the closing show of the Mellon Jazz Festival 1988 Carlos Santana Band with guess Wayne Shorter. Here's the cats in the band that evening. Carlos, Wayne, Chester Thompson - keyboards, Patrice Rushen - keyboards, Alphonse Johnson - bass, Ndgug Chancellor - drums Armando Peraza, Pete Escovedo - percussion. The Academy of Music was sold out not a empty seat in the house I still remember that show and I have a cassette audio copy of the show. June 26 1988 - 8 pm. Also I have many of Santana albums but I will recommend one The Swing of Delight 1980 it's on CD if you can find it pick it up please. My personal feeling is Mr. Santana being a Mexican American is a great for his race and all other races, young people can believe and work hard and you have the chance in America to be what you what to be. I would image over the years he has done some great humanitarian things for charity's and his country that we will never know about.|||He got Jaco Pastorious killed...

How much do you think it would cost for Carlos Santana to perform at my wedding?
Say 4-5 hours or less. Money isn't really an issue But the reason I dnt want to contact him now is because my wedding isn't even planned. I'm not even engaged!! Haha. I'm just wonderig cause in the future it's who I want at my wedding.|||LOL are you rich|||50k|||He gets $250 , 000 for a personal appearance
Do the Twins stand a chance at the postseason without Santana?
Lariano is back which will help. They have also singed players to contract extensions. Unfortunatly the Twins owner is cheap and doesnt want to sign high qualtiy players from free agency.|||A lineup with Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, and now Delmon Young looks pretty good. But boy do they have a young rotation now. And remember: they're going up against Detroit and Cleveland, two of the best teams in the game. Yikes! Let's hope these prospects turn out.|||obviosly not|||I honestly don't think they had much of a chance with Johan Santana.|||Doubtful. With the Indians and Tigers in their division they will have a tough time placing. I would dare say the White Sox have a better shot than the Twins. It's too bad because the Twins have had some solid players come through their organization.|||No chance in the AL Central....
But Delmon Young should be entertaining... The video of the bat throw is great...|||I don't beleive they had a chance to begin with. They're in one of the most talented divisions in baseball. With Santana, I doubt they would have made it past third place. Now, they're really gonna sit there with the Royals watching Cleveland and Detroit battle it out with Chicago just out of reach.|||They didn't stand a chance WITH him. Theres no guarantee Liriano will be the stud he was when he comes back from surgery. I keep hearing about how the Twins Owner is cheap and should have offered Santana more money. He offered Santana $20 million a year for four years, Santana wanted 7 years. I can see why he said no. You'll be paying Santana top dollar for pitching in his declining years.|||no they lost Torri Hunter AND Johan this off season. I don' think they stand a chance|||No.|||I'm from Minnesota, so I'm biased, but our lineup isn't bad with Mauer, Cuddyer, Morneau, and Young, it's obviously not the best, but better than others. Pitching will obviously be tough. We'll have Baker (who had 8 perfect innings against the Royals last year) Liriano who will be a big question mark after Tommy John surgery, Boof Bonser, who if he keeps the weight of will be a solid # 3 pitcher. Then the 4 and 5 spots are between Slowey, Perkins, and Humber...nothing too exciting here. I love the Twins, I think they stand a chance, but not a very good one with the way Detroit improved and Cleveland, well I can't say good things about them, but they might be better than the Twins.|||They will be better than many people think, especially if Lariano comes back strong, but I would give them little or no chance to finish ahead of either the Tigers or Indians.|||They dont stand much of chance. But I tire of people who think a person who plays once evry five days makes up a team. We'll win 70-80 games with an improved offense, but the young rotation. They'll finish second or third. The Indians arent gonna be that good this year, i think, but they dont have a shot at the postseason.

What do you think about Mets ACE Johan Santana?
being accused of sexual battery(rape). Girls story seems kind of true but kind of made up too, she has a bruise where she says Santana did stuff to her, and the police said there is evidence that her and Santana had sexual relations. You think he did it?|||I think it's sad, and I wish I didn't know about it. As a lifelong Twins fan, I've always liked Santana, but if he really did something like that, then I think he deserves to be in jail.
It sucks that we'll never really know the truth - just like with Kobe Bryant and Ben Roethlisberger. I personally believe that both of those guys are guilty, but the only people who know for sure are those men and their accusers. I also don't like how people automatically assume that the woman in question is making things up - I know that if any woman I know were in this situation my first reaction would be to kill the bastard who did this; it wouldn't even cross my mind that she was lying.
I hope that Santana isn't guilty, and I hope that some evidence comes out to clear his name soon. But until then, at least part of me has to believe that he did it.|||I dont think so he's a nice person and not a loud mouth. look at this link
http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/n鈥?/a>|||It happened 7 months ago and the police have closed the case due to a lack of evidence of any type of assault.
The world will never run out of gold diggers.|||Well, if the police right there said they found the accusation questionable and dropped the charges, why is this even coming up? Heck, I accuse Salma Hayek of pick pocketing. Will that make the news?|||Obviously if he did it, he did it out of frustration because he's a has-been.

How to be Santana from glee for halloween?
I already have my cherrios outfit and i wanna know how to do my hair and my makeup, also other things?!?!?!!? Help its for a party!|||Wear your hair up in a perfect ponytail...1. Start by brushing the top of your hair up with a wet brush. 2. Hold that hair up with one hand and add on to it. 3. Once you have all of your hair in one hand brush the bottom of your hair with the other hand and apply a alastic. 4. (For detail) Put a lot of hairspray on the bottom and top. (Not the ponytail part) Curl the ponytail with a curling iron or put it in a curler, and your hair is finished. Now the makeup. 1. Apply primer and a lot of blush, close to her skin tone. 2. Apply eyeliner (Liquid) and waterproof mascara. 3. Put on dark pink lipstick, I prefer gloss. (Apply chapstick first). P.S.Before putting on makeup, but lotion on your face...it makes your face feel smoother and much softer, it also keeps the makeup in place. Good luck! (=|||Whats the matter with celebrities?

He must be.After the pitching meltdowns and injuries.His crosstown rival Mets are probably snickering and whispering.Will Joba the Hutt save the season? Johan shoulda been your ace,Henry!|||It is going to turn out to be a major mistake for the Yankees not to have acquired Santana. You never know how any young pitcher is going to turn out and Santana is one of the elite pitchers in the game and he is still young.|||It's all about expectations of the organization and the fans.
If the Yankees want to develop within and be more than a band of mercenaries, they need to accept two things.
Development takes time AND you can't make the playoffs every year.
If the Yankees only cared about this year in 08, worry about 09 in 09, etc, they should have traded for Santana.
The fans just have to stop thinking they need to be in the playoffs every year, stop booing their own players.|||The Yanks offered the best deal, the Twins declined and took a lesser deal from the Mets. I think the Twins are probably kicking themselves.
Oh and for the guy above me... when the team has a $200 million pay roll, tickets to the game are a minimum of $70 for nosebleeds, hot dogs cost $8 and a beer is $10... yeah... they better be in the playoffs every single year.|||no. melky has been doing awesome and he would have been gone. hughes is hurt and him and kennedy need more time to develop. joba can not save the season by himself. once the offense starts hitting with runners in scoring postition they'll be on top. and that will be soon. also, wang is an awesome ace. they dont need santana|||I don't because it's only May,2, 2008 %26amp; there are still about 130 games to go %26amp; it's the future he is building on not for the month of April %26amp; 1st days of May of 2008.|||King Felix is right.
Hank wanted to bet the farm on Santana and give them Hughes and Cabrera, but Cash talked him out of it. Hank's probably screaming I told you so right now.|||The Yankees were never going to get him. Twins have stated such. They were never going to trade Santana to an American League team. Never.|||Hank wanted the deal done but he gave the power to Cashman......Cashman is the one that would be itching and kicking himself right about now.|||Vision in hindsight is always 20/20. Yankees are building for the future, not May 2nd, 2008|||u cant get them all

Is acquiring Johan Santana a good deal for the Mets in the long run?
I personally think it is, I just wanted to hear some opinions.|||dude were talking about one of the best pitcher in baseball also hes only 29 and has a career record of 82-35 and should get even better in a much weaker N.L. and the mets really didn't give that much for him.|||yeah its all based on opinion, we all know they can hit , ( and as a dodger fan myself who has seen them rack up god nows how many runs when they play the dodgers ) , and their pitches are closing in senior citizenship..... i think it was a great deal because santana is THE BEST PITCHER IN BASEBALL NO DOUBT.. and is only 28 years old|||How could it not be? You are getting the best baseball player in baseball right now and you're only losing 3 (4?) no-name pitching prospects and a crappy bench-outfielder. Honestly, it's probably a better here-and-now solution, but it sure as heck isn't going to hurt you in the long run.|||It is a great deal for the Mets if he pitches. If Santana gets hurt its just going to be another Carl Pavano situation in NY.|||All I know is that we need pitching desperately.|||I think so!|||It is a great deal. You give up a guy in Gomez who has no power. He might have good speed, but not great power. The Mets gave up the #'s 2,3 %26amp; 4 prospects in this deal, but they get the best lefty in the league in return. The Mets now have a real ace for the first time in quite a while. Pedro and Glavine were over the hill when they got them. This moves the Mets ahead of the Phillies for the early favorites in the NL East.|||awe you're all just jealous|||Utter BS
this is just as crappy as the Celtics/Wolves deal in basketball...Mchale giving up Kevin Garnett to his beloved Boston for one solid starter (AL Jefferson) and a bunch of marginal role players who wouldn't be in the league 4 years from now...
whats going on in Minnesota? their sports teams GMs are giving up hall of fame caliber players to new york and boston (2 huge markets) for basically jack squat in return
I hope he blows out his shoulder or gets in some kind of funk that he never wakes up from and keeps them away from the playoffs
oh yea they have to give him a contract extension too...how bout a 6 year 120 mil contract? that'll fsho gut the team (The Carl Pavano of the Mets perhaps?)
Mets fans
Its still not gonna make a difference just watch
he will blow out his shoulder or choke down the stretch in the second half and another season, another miss of the playoffs is gonna happen...just watch
Baseball gods won't let this slide...|||It just came down, Johan Santana for a outfielder, and three pitching prospects! As a twins fan, this is one of the worst trades possible. We give away the best pitcher in the major leagues and get a .232 batting average outfielder, and three pitching prospects. This is just a terrible trade!! Prospects are prospects for a reason, we don't know if they are going to pan out in the major leagues. How do they not get at least a starter from the Mets lineup such as David Wright? Bill Smith has started off his career as a GM terribly. Not only does he get absolutely nothing for the best pitcher in baseball, but he kills the teams chances of winning this year! Terribly disappointed!|||without a doubt. Santana will be a great addition to any team. me preferably to the cubs. but wow the mets were a good team before just imagine with this pitcher on the mound. there going to be unstoppable|||Yes, it IS.|||I dont think so. Its a quick fix and it wont solve the problems the Mets have. Just wait till he starts piss whinning about the players in the media. You will not like him all to much in years to come and exspect a few injuries with the hard on the arm slidder he throws way to much. I wish you the best with him.

Start an injured santana moss or a healthy Randle El?
huge decision i need to make here. in a very close game and its a big one! what do you guys think?|||I have both guys as well. And it looks like Moss is active for the game.
I am starting Moss simply because he is the number one WR right now and if I didn't start him and he had a good game I would be more upset with myself then if I did start him and he has a bad game. make sense? I know its hard but I think you have to start Moss. |||i agree i've got moss going tonight. just saw on espn that he was running routes on the field so i think he will be fine. start him

How do I get the sound that santana has on the song smooth?
I have a decent line 6 spider IV 120 amp. No pedals at the moment. Want to know how I can best achieve that sound. Thanks for the help.|||I have a Spider IV 75 and one of the presets is called "SMOOTH." Scroll through your presets with song names. Then play the neck pickup with the tone maybe rolled back a bit and play up the neck some with your fretting hand position.
A lot of my presets I tweaked a bunch but that one has the sound, Hence the name on it.
Get acquainted with the manual and how to edit presets and you probably won't need pedals other than the optional foot controller. The basic one is about a hundred bucks. Played a gig in July where the sound man was a local musician I have lots of respect for and he really liked my tone a lot.
Here is the code for the complete manual, not the flight guide online:

What are the chances the Twins make it to the World Series with Santana and Liriano?
Knowing that somehow the Minnesota Twins can manage to win games without Liriano, what will the chances be in making the World Series if Francisco Liriano returns the season after next.
Healthy and dominant as we saw before his shoulder injury.
I'm just wondering on a "Hands Up" on how much of a difference Liriano is with/without him.|||Twins have alot of young talent and Hunter is a class act. I hope they do well. I would love to see Cubs and Twins in the WS but I have to pull for the Cubbies!!|||they will make the playoffs and go far but i think the yankees will be the AL represenativre|||Liriano is very dominant..it will be hard to fill that huge gap..i see the Twins gettin to the Series in 09 or 10|||That depends on clemans.... if goes to NY no chance if he dont they have a good shot|||well i dont know b/c 2 pitchers migth not make a diference but who nows maybe|||I think very good. if he comes back healthy and santana pitches like he usually does, they have a great chance. They have some good young talent in morneau and mauer and who knows what can come out of their amazing farm system that will help the pitching staff.|||If they are both healthy, then the chances are VERY good. In fact, they might be the favorite. First of all, in a 5 game series, they would probably start three out of the five games, so I'd like my chances in the division series. Then once you got to the ALCS or World Series, they would start at least 4, if not 5 times. If you remember, in 2001, Johnson and Schilling started 5 games between them in the World Series, which is why Arizona won. If you have to amazing pitchers like Santana and a healthy Liriano pitching the way they can, no one would beat them.|||i dont think the twins will get past the tigers|||not this year

What is the latest on the Santana trade rumors?
Who is still involved and what are the latest offers?|||These offers are such BS!!! The Sox should offer all three prospects (Lester, Bukholtz, Ellsbury), and maybe another midlevel guy or two! After looking at the Haren and Cabrera hauls that the A's and Marlins got, the Twins should get at least 4 guys! If they get bullied into taking one of the CRAP deals being offered by the Sox or Yanks, they are total wusses! Santana is the BEST starter is the game for cripes sake!
The Yanks saying these unproven guys are "untouchable" is ricockulous! They should give the Twins Chamberlin, Cabrera, Hughes, AND Kennedy!!!!!!|||He juices|||There haven't been any trade rumors lately, but the front runners are still the Red Sox. To me it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to trade your prospects and sign him, when you can just wait one year and sign him directly and keep your prospects.

Why wasn't Johan Santana thrown out of the game after he was already warned after trying to hit Sandoval?
Before anyone says anything I don't justify at all what Matt Cain did to David Wright %26amp; i wish Wright a full recovery. But Santana went after another hitter(Molina) after being warned for trying to hit Sandoval. The Umpire made his warning mean nothing by not throwing out Santana after he was already warned.|||Scooter, who really knows what happens with this stuff? I don't think Cain's pitch to David was a purpose pitch, but you really never know.
Like Howie Rose said after wards on WFAN, "Do managers manage differently after something like that happens in a game, and just how long will it be before a Giants' batter goes down?"
The Dodgers %26amp; Giants have been throwing at each other since the 1930s when a player got hit in Ebbets Field.
So, who really knows, Pelfrey could take out someone today.|||I can't comment too much on the game, as I didn't watch it. I will say the replay of Wright getting hit was scary to watch.
I think Santana just went with the thought that so many pitchers have, right or wrong he retaliated to protect his team (as he said).
I do think he should have been removed though, even though many would say it was justified.
I am sure Cain didn't hit Wright intentionally, he's a good guy and he looked depressed by what had happened.
I'm not going to defend Santana, but to say that retaliation is often expected (I know, I know) but he still should have been removed. He did what so many do...right or wrong. (Flashback myself to Dodgers/Brewers game when Fielder got beamed intentionally in retaliation, or as the guys say-"to protect my team-mates"
I hope people understand though that Cain did not beam a guy with a 93 mph fastball on purpose. No way.|||The question has some great answers which I agree with.
Everyone in baseball knows that Santana is going to after at least one Giants hitter, and everyone knows he's not going to throw at the head. I think it's one of those situational things..even Manual new that he was going to pull Santana at that point..maybe the umpires are smart enough to know also.
If Santana is tossed from the game, he faces suspension..the way it went, the suspension is avoided.|||I think the umpire knew what the situation was...first after david wright was hit nobody was warned(as i know of)...because it wasn't intentional...then Santana goes and tries to hit sandoval and then he goes deep...but then when he does hit Molina or whoever Jerry Manuel quickly goes and takes him out. i think that when Wright was hit the Umpire knew that santana was probably going to retaliate by hitting one of them...I think maybe the umpire didn't throw him out because he didn't hit sandoval...but then he hit molina...maybe if he would of hit both he would have been ejected|||Well Cain didn't mean to hit Wright but Johan was trying to deffend his teamate by trying to hit Pablo Sandoval and Benjie Molina, I would've kicked that guy out, but he's still one of my favorite pitchers.|||Sounds like another example of home plate umpires driving me crazy! I think Wright will be okay:). They're just watching him overnight.|||his manager took him out.

What is the name of the Santana song played in The Big Lebowski?

Should I start Eddie Royal or Santana Moss week 3 in fantasy football?
Eddie royal is going up against the NO def., but Moss had a huge game last week, but Ariz. defense is looking better.
So which one should i start?|||Royal...The number 2/3 option, depending on Scheffler...And, Moss DID have a huge game last week, but guess who he played? That's right, the lowly Saints D...And, I'd rather have Cutler tosing to my start over Campbell.|||Go with moss, Marshall is clearly the number 1 receiver for denver and 18 receptions says alot about that.
royal could get you a cheap td, maybe simalar number to last week.
washington is going to throw alot and arizona has beatable corners|||Moss, he is washington's primary wide out and royal is second to marshall

I know S. moss is a better reciever but he has not had a good year. What do u think|||i keep saying that Moss will eventually get his stuff together but it hasnt happened yet. He's a high profile WR no doubt and i'd give him another go this week...if it isnt on this week. You'll figure out what to do after that.|||no prob
|||Santana Moss, is the way to go. Don't count of Moss having another game like last week. He is a stud. Good Luck!|||I would also go with Santana Moss as long as he's healthy enough to play. Mike Furrey is going to be hit-or-miss all season. That in itself wouldn't be too bad, but when he hits, it's not for great numbers, and when he misses, it's for nothing. Jason Campbell is getting the ball out well, and it's no fluke. He's a good QB at doing what he needs to do. Basically it all boils down to this: Do you want the #1 receiver on the Redskins or the #4 (when Johnson gets healthy) on the Lions? Makes the answer much easier, huh? :D

In what ways can Carlos Santana be considered one of the greatest guitarists?
Because its more then obvious hes one of the greatest guitarists to ever play and i want to get some of your opinions.|||Well first he has one of the most unique guitar styles in all of rock n roll. You can always tell a song is his just by the sound of his guitar.
Second, he's been making hits for decades. The career he has led is long and extensive.
And he is one of the few Latinos to obtain a successful career in the American music industry.|||i think he's good at what he does, i mean his style is just not compare to any other guitrist in the world so that may be the thing for what he must be recognized. he's very good composer as well.|||Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas FTW.|||His style. He always keeps it tight even when his band mates get sloppy. Just listen to his poformance at Woodstock, and black magic women.|||Have you seen his performance at Woodstock? That is all you have to see to know he is a guitar God

Is anyone as mad as I am about Santana and Hunter?
Well over the last couple weeks the Twins have delivered some pretty bad news...first they lost Torri Hunter who was one of the best Feilders i've ever seen!Then i think on Monday the news said that the Twins were losing Santana too which flat out SUCKS!!!!
Ok so i have some questions.
1)Are you mad about this situation?
2)What did we get from Torri Hunter leaving the Twins?
3)What will we get if Santana goes to the Yankees or wherever?|||1. Its just the economics of baseball bud. I have gone through losing a ton of players as a royals fan (beltran, damon, dye, etc.), so i know how you feel.
2. Since Torri Hunter was a Class A free agent (I believe) they will recieve at least one sandwich pick in next year's draft.
3. I have heard that the Twins want Wang and Cano in return, which would be a pretty good deal for Min|||The Twins will not pay the salaries these guys will command. Take it up with ownership. He's got all the jack in the world. But he would rather pocket the revenue sharing cash...over 50M...than put the talent on the field. Torii Hunter left for that reason. They didnt even come close to a reasonable offer for him. Same with Santana. They know they cant sign him next season. They have to get something for him in a trade, or he will walk with no compensation to the Twins except a couple of draft picks.
Everyone says teams like the Yankees and Red Sox are ruining baseball. That's not true. It's teams that wont even spend the money they get for nothing on players who are ruining the game.|||Twins didn't get anything for Hunter, he was a free agent and they were not going to pay him (5 yrs and 90 mil is way to much for a defensive center fielder). And who knows what they will get for Santana, but you better believe it will have to be good for them to let him go.|||1. I really don't care because I'm not a Twins or Angels fan. And I'll be glad if the Dodgers get him. (for the right price)
2. If the Twins offered him arbitration, you will get a compensation draft pick.
3. You will get a wealth of good young players, and possibly the vastly overrated Melky Cabrera.|||Every team does that...even though it may be hard to see some players go you just have to focus on the players your team is picking up in the off season like Delmon Young...baseball is no longer designed for a player to stay on one team their entire career....there is no reason to be mad about the situation...as for Santana...you will most likely get some top prospects from whatever team trades for him.|||Hunter was a great defensive Centerfielder but he wasn't worth the money the Angels paid for him. Delmon Young is a great young player and has the potential to be much better offensively than Hunter ever was, but I don't understand giving up Garza to get him. The Twins will get alot of young talent for Santana and they might as well trade him if they won't be willing to pay him after next season. If the Yankees make a trade for Johan they have to be conisdered the favorites to win the AL East.|||1 no im not mad. 2. the twins did not get squat. 3. probably not what that he is worth.|||JOE NATHAN IS GONE TOO LOL! And I thought my Yankees were going to have a disaster off-season....|||Very Depressed about it
We get nothing
We may get a minor leaguer
Overall it will hurt the twins in the longrun so much they'll be in last place in the AL Central, but theirs still hope you got Delmon Young from Tampa Bay in a Trade today, they actually haven't traded Santana though the red sox, mets, angels, dodgers as well as the yankess want him, yet we can still keep if they can't reach a deal before spring starts like a good 3 months from now.
Good Luck|||Think of the A's fans who've lost far more players then the Twins have. Giambi, Mulder, Hudson, Zito, and Tejada just to name a few. It's maddening that teams like the Yankees, Orioles, Red Sox, etc..........Have owners who don't really care about grooming talent, but signing it away from other teams.
The second point is Hunters getting on in years he's still a great center fielder would much rather have him, but the Twins still have a chance at getting Aaron Rowand who plays with an out right abandoned, and you traded for Delmon Young from he Tampa Rays, which is a great deal he's young and he's talented and should have been rookie of the year.
The last part of the question is Santana will be traded for Cano, Hughes, Chamberlain, and Kennedy. So 3 prospects and a proven player in Cano. In the end who knows how Hughes, Chamberlain, or Kennedy does in the major leagues they're on the cusp haven't really shown anything yet where as Santana has.|||Some owners are willing to spend money to field a winning team and some are not. It is a sad reality for Twins fans that their team falls into the later category.|||As an Angels fan, I'm just hoping that this Tori Hunter guy works out.
Ok so i have some questions.
1)Are you mad about this situation?
2)What did we get from Torri Hunter leaving the Twins?
3)What will we get if Santana goes to the Yankees or wherever?|||1. Its just the economics of baseball bud. I have gone through losing a ton of players as a royals fan (beltran, damon, dye, etc.), so i know how you feel.
2. Since Torri Hunter was a Class A free agent (I believe) they will recieve at least one sandwich pick in next year's draft.
3. I have heard that the Twins want Wang and Cano in return, which would be a pretty good deal for Min|||The Twins will not pay the salaries these guys will command. Take it up with ownership. He's got all the jack in the world. But he would rather pocket the revenue sharing cash...over 50M...than put the talent on the field. Torii Hunter left for that reason. They didnt even come close to a reasonable offer for him. Same with Santana. They know they cant sign him next season. They have to get something for him in a trade, or he will walk with no compensation to the Twins except a couple of draft picks.
