Re: Johan Santana or Dan Haren?
every legit contender should be interested in haren,especially the mid market teams like detroit and the chisox types
the fact is harens salary makes him more appealing than santana to 90% of baseball which makes getting him difficult as well.
i think the sox are getting santana
the steinberg brothers may have kept arod but only after arod realized he wasnt getting anything close to his ridiculous demands
they got andy back,signed the aged posada and rivera but they havent really added anything new.
the brothers are putting a deadline out there for a 27yr old 2x cy winning lefty?
good
it has as much validity as the arod negotiations.
when your first act of business as owner is the arod fiasco when they appear completely full of shit and you go against your word then respect is lost,not that hal and hank had a lot of that going in
in fact
they should be at the little boys table during the winter meetings with loria in miami and the pirates gm.
the yanks need santana much more than we do and if they dont move on him then the signings of rivera petite arod and posada appear foolish because theyre content on retooling and waiting a year or more
will anyone be better on the market than johan in the next few seasons?
doubtful
these 28 year old phenoms are rare
lefty phenoms rarer
