The Twins basically traded thirty four or thirty five Johan starts and two compensatory picks for these four guys. If their system was working and developing players the wouldn't have needed to let Santana go. Let me play out his contract, compete, and wish him well when he leaves.

People seem to think that the Twins will automatically rebound. It's no sure thing. They were bad between '93 and '99.

I have to think this deal would have been there at the deadline. If the Twins would have sucked, then they could have tried trading him. Johan could then decide to waive his no-trade claus and go put the exclamation point on his record deal at free agency.

These guys swindled Hennepin County into paying for a stadium and I don't have the confidence they are going to be a quality product when the stadium opens.
