Eddie Royal had a great game vs Oakland but Brandon Marshall will be back so not sure what to do.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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<br><br /><br />Saints have no secondarySantanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-44078861120186062162011-11-22T05:28:00.003-08:002011-11-22T05:28:34.422-08:00How will Johan Santana of the Mets and Cole Hamels of the Phillies to tonight against each other?Give me your prediction of IP, H, ER, BB, and K's for both pitchers and I'll be sure to choose the closest as the best answer....now, if there are 2 identical predictions (which I highly doubt, I would conduct an unbiased (thats right, unbiased) coin flip).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So, Give me your prediction IP, H, ER, BB, K for both johan and cole.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />thanks!|||Santana 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K<br><br /><br />Hamels 6.1 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 6 K|||I am predicting one of those 2-1 gem of a game scenarios.

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).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Even if the physical were failed, unless it is a long-term impact injury, the Twins still might do the deal. <br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.Santanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-3428370304682128462011-11-22T05:28:00.001-08:002011-11-22T05:28:18.443-08:00What 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.

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.

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 <br><br /><br />If they get Santana they would be so stupidSantanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-34479483991666411272011-11-22T05:27:00.006-08:002011-11-22T05:27:58.849-08:00I 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.Santanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-11373436045760707662011-11-22T05:27:00.005-08:002011-11-22T05:27:48.942-08:00Should 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.<br><br /><br />.|||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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.Santanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-85496945886343552922011-11-22T05:27:00.004-08:002011-11-22T05:27:39.403-08:00Could the Red Sox have the best rotation ever if they aquire Johan Santana?Beckett<br><br /><br />Santana<br><br /><br />Schilling<br><br /><br />Dice K<br><br /><br />Wake|||I don't know about the best EVER (maybe a franchise best??), but they might be the best in 2008.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I just hope they don't lose Ellsbury to do it...I think that would be a mistake.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />BUT...getting rid of Coco Crispies is a good idea.

We all know that the yankees doesnt like being outplayed in the market or even in anything by their rivals. The Yankees will make a move and counter the Santana trade to the Red Sox if it does take place. Yankees have set their sights to A's Ace Dan Haren who's 2 years younger has potential to win the Cy Young Award and a potential 20 game winner. Reports have come that A's does have interest on the offer that yankees offered the Twins but Oakland trying to land a 3rd player like Austin Jackson or prolly a different mid level prospect.

I'll take either rotations anytime. Red Sox have the best rotation if they do land Santana but if the yankees land Haren you can argue which rotation is better|||If the red sox aquire santana they could possibly have one of the best ever , it all depends on the unproven players, dice k would have to prove he can be consistent because right now he isn't. bucholtz would have to prove that he can pitch ,one start(no hitter) at that is a good start but we really don't no what he can do. schilling he's got it during the post season but can can he keep it going the whole season to get us there. But if he does go down we got wake for a fill in who last year had back problems but if he doesn't have have to pitch only a limited starts he could benifit and so could the sox, with that my friend the sox could have the best ever and if not we have one of the best pens in the league....

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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br />Now, the yanks have some what of a pitching problem, they need to re-sign Chein Ming Wang, which they shouldnt have any problems.<br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />...and, I don't think Omar is done, I believe there will be another trade and free agent signing coming.|||Hoss?

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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.

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? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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. Unfortunely, he will be moved out of the top 10...but if we honor him with that type of award he could be like out Naismith.

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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Right now, he is getting aprx 30 million a year by the Twins, and can possibly be worth less as he gets older.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.

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?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He's been more consistent and has done it for a longer time than most of the new young pitchers out here.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He could very easily have 14 wins right now if the Mets had any sort of offense when he takes the mound.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />He's left handed and he's got the best change up... he is still the only pitcher I would take with a first pick in a fantasy pool.|||He is good but Halladay is better|||I am the biggest Phillies Fan EVER......so this is kinda tough to type<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I think Johan is the best in the NL I just think he gets very cruddy run support so his winning percetange is not good and wins are not there and Tim"s numbers are there<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But i think i have to give it to Halladay|||Everybody is talking about Halladay. "Oh he's been the best for six years now!". Umm...no, Johan has been the best, and still is the best.|||Johan Santana is still the best in my books. He hasn't lost anything yet.

Now when I say pull a Tigers move I'm speaking in regards to the fact that the Tigers snagged Miguel Cabrera away from the Angels as the Angels took too long to make the move with the Marlins.|||I hope not. I'm thinking the Kiddie Corp of Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain will be coming into their own next year. If you tell them that you think theyre the answer they will get much more confidence then if you trade one or two for Johan to the Twinkies.|||nope they are not that smart!|||id say no|||NEVER SAY NEVER. BOTH NY DAILYS REPORT THE YANKEES ARE LOOKING TO MOVE SALARY SO YOU NEVER KNOW.|||I hope the Tigers step in on this one too, that would be awesome..I don't think the Yankees will land Santana, it would seem like San Fran might move in..|||the only reason the bosox even acted interested in santana was so they could scare the daylights out of the yankees and try to get them to scramble and offer something rediculos that would only end up hurting in the long run. the only team interested in him are the yanks. the bosox dont need him or want him, they have dice k and becket and pap. they have the top mlb staff and a ton money tied up in it. they were never interested in him. and yed this is the truth, the bosox were just playing defense|||The Tigers didn't "steal" anyone away from the Angels. 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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />To answer your question though, I really don't see the Yankees swooping in for Santana. I'm sure they're rooting for him to end up with an NL team (Mets, Dodgers, or D-Backs), but they're negotiating has hit the skids, while other teams are still putting forth the effort to acquire him. I'd say the odds favor Boston right now, but there hasn't been word of a possible package from any of the NL teams, so stay tuned.|||Don't be so sure that the Red Sox haven't already come to terms with the Twins and the delay we're seeing is due to the contract negotiations with Santana. If the Sox don't get Santana in a multi-year contract, they won't give away valuable prospects and they won't press release anything until a complete deal is solidified.|||Santana stays put because Minnesota is simply asking for too damn much in return.|||I don't hink the Red Sux (Sox) or Yankees, not the Spanks as someone stated. I can't see either team giving up too much young talent for him. My own opinion..|||Both the Red Sox and the Yankees are not talking to the Twins at this time and the door is actually opened for the Mets to "pull a Tigers more" to use your reference.|||Probably not. But Boston should watch out for the Mets.|||On Monday Hank Steinbrenner set a deadline for the Twins to accept their deal. They said they would be out of the Santana sweepstakes after that. But who really knows since they said they would not deal with A-Rod. I think Santana will go to the Red Sox.|||Wont happen unless the Spanks are willing to give up Hughes %26amp; Kennedy %26amp; if they were smart that wouldnt happen, so either the Sox will get Johan or he stays in Twinky land|||No they'd be stupid if they did.|||Nah, I'm pretty sure the Yanks have given up on him.Santanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975071898643773418.post-73603703004447455312011-11-22T05:26:00.004-08:002011-11-22T05:26:37.024-08:00Should I start Santana Moss vs Dal or Bernard Berrian vs NO?They both have similar stats, Moss is only projected about 5 fantasy points, while Berrian is projected 7 to 8.|||I am going through the same dilemma. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am going to go with Berrian<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It comes down to playing it safe or going for it<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Moss will have an average to above average game (80yds to 120yds 1 td)<br><br /><br />Berrian could have a below average game (50yds) to a stellar game (150yds 2 td)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dallas and Washington are not going to have a shootout.

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.

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<br><br /><br />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?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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)<br><br /><br />From them, I wouldn't have even settled on Hughes, it would have been Chamberlain and one of Hughes and Kennedy.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />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.Santanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01664425752395037611noreply@blogger.com0
