O/T: Santana Trade

I think Carlos Gomez is going to be better than Melky Cabrera within 2 years.I saw him play in the minors a few times,spring training,and most of his games in the majors,he is amazingly quick,good defensively and has a great arm,hes still young though and his overall performance in the majors shouldnt be a basis to grade him. He was called up too early because Moises Alou is a 80 game a year player and Lastings Millidge isnt the player the media hyped him up to be


Kevin Mulvey is going to be a good-to-decent major league pitcher for awhile and the other 2 pitchers are very iffy but they had alot of success in the past(Humber) and are too young and inexperienced to be sure about(Guerra)

You gotta think that when they went back to the Yankees and Red Sox and said the Mets made an offer neither team cared to bid as much because it kept Santana away from their top competition. I think they were both bidding to keep him away from the other team and the worst thing to do was involve a 3rd team. It also keeps Santana out of their own league where they would see him every year instead of maybe every 3 years

That Gomez-Young-Cuddyer outfield is going to be very good years from now and they had some good young pitchers before the trade Liriano,Baker and Slowey are all good pitchers under their control for the next 5 years.Boof Bonser was ordered to get into shape for the upcoming year and if he pitches like he was thought to be able to,they should be back to respectability in time for the new stadium....and they still have Morneau and Mauer for years to come,2 great young players
