Santana, Carpenter, Wainwright = 3 headed monster...

Wow, I didn't realize Johan Santana was being traded for a bag of balls.

[mntwinsfan]

lol, might want to take a look at what I recieved! Cut 12 million off the payroll and gained two 5 star specs and three 4 star specs. Restocked my pitching for the next 10 years!

easily the best of the 3 trades that saw the council involving johan.

[realmofotalk]

Not a bad haul if only this league used SBSL's rapid development settings. But as always, you celebrate if the OOTP killing machine spares one of the top prospects that you get.

[Kingdom]

Shaved 12 million.. that you gave to... one of the top players in the league. Congratulations, you're an idiot.

[mntwinsfan]

Koz your the only idiot who did not post a fair trade offer. I still have plenty left to own you in the al central. Where did your name come into the trade? Your not the cardinals! You idiot!

Santana is on the decline. Less wins higher era less k's and by the looks of it sb's will continue to go up.

...aaaand he's in the NL West

Denial is the first step on the road to recovery...and what the hell do stolen bases have to do with a pitcher?

[ljshorty89]

I could be wrong, but don't you only trade away your best player for prospects if you plan on rebuilding?

[Puravida]

Paniagua is only 3.5 stars.
Dykstra is 19 and could very well pan out, or he could do nothing.
McCormick is a back of the rotation starter.
Ottavino is a back of the rotation starter who isn't fully developed.
That's a bag of balls. Garcia is the only redeeming chip. And Garcia had a 4.0 ERA at single-A last year...

[Providence A's]

Don't look at me...I didn't get to vote on the deal. I asked a question and the deal was passed before it got answered...before I got to vote.

He's fearful of the Tigers... I guess it is easier to avoid than concede

[mntwinsfan]

Yeah Dave you could be right. I needed to retool the pitching. Maybe things will work out, but without a doubt my hitting carried me last season and I dont see a change this season. I was either first or 2nd it stolen base's I will score alot of runs again.

[Slyder]

And Francisco Liriano grins as he prepairs to own the division as the best pitcher in it. . Too bad the rest of my team isnt as good.

Time will tell if this was a good move or bad move.
