To get through the long winter months, we’re trying something new: Loge13 Speaks.
Current and former Loge13 season ticket holders (and assorted friends) gather around the virtual hot stove and ponder Met moves.
Today’s topic: Johan Santana. What Mets are you willing to give up for Johan
Santana? Would you part with Reyes? Beltran? Is Santana worth the asking
price?
Ron Hunt: I'd trade anyone but Wright and Reyes. In a blink. I'd love them to take Beltran and I'd pick up his full salary.
****************
Ross Jones: He seems like the real thing, but I hate giving up All Star position
players for any arm. It's a very different world pitching in New York
instead of Minnesota. Just ask Frank Viola.
********
Good point. Does anyone have Viola's stats before and after he came to the Mets? It may be interesting to compare his numbers to Santana.
I read the Yanks are putting a trade around Melky and Phil Hughes. I'm guessing Milledge and Humber's not cutting it :) Can Minnesota afford Beltran.
*******
I'm not sure the Skanks can pull it off, unless they include 1 of their pitchers, melky and 1 other. It will cost them big. BUT, Santana would like the Skanks bcs they will give him whatever he wants in a long term contract. The Mets do not have the trade talent to land him. Wright, Reyes and Beltran are off limits. IF, and that's a big IF, they would take Delgado with one of the younger pitching talents; then maybe. But the Twins are milking this.
*******************
Kingman: I don’t think Santana has any interest going to the National League. He’s going to use the Mets to leverage up the Angels and Yankees and make silly money. Overpaying lefties = bad idea.
Speaking of which, Mike Hampton hurt himself in his first inning of work in the Mexican League today. He is out a month.
