Sometimes I agree...Paul,<BR/>I go back on forth on this. Sometimes I agree with your point and feel that Johan is due for a downswing and other times I think it is a no brainer this guy is the best pitcher in baseball, period. It is a tough one. But I continue to ask myself this, how would I feel if Boston got him? The answer, afraid, very afraid.Yardisiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213544497026151543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990591611131454183.post-86491293964912958192007-11-30T23:06:00.000-05:002007-11-30T23:06:00.000-05:00If no one in history has had the 4 year stretch Sa...If no one in history has had the 4 year stretch Santana has had, what are the odds that he reels off another 2-4 years in a row like that? And if early on in the course of a 6 year contract, he ends up being just a really good pitcher instead of a great one, will it have been worth giving up Hughes and the other player(s) on whom they could have used that 25 mill per year to get? I guess my point is, I think the odds of Hughes becoming a very good pitcher are about the same as Santana slipping down to being a very good pitcher... so it is not worth trading 2-3 other good young prospects and spending 150 million dollars for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
