Day 66 And Counting

FWIW, Jim Souhan of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune told Charlie Steiner on his XM Radio show, "Baseball Beat", that Twins officials he has spoken with on the team's Winter Caravan would ideally want a Johan Santana trade completed by next week. Given all the ink spilled on this over the past two months, I hope it is true.

I like the latest trade iteration between the Mets and Twins - Santana for Fernando Martinez, Ryan Church, Phil Humber and a second pitching prospect. Church would immediately become a top sleeper in AL-only formats as the 43 doubles hit in pitcher-friendly RFK will be projected to turn into HRs in the more hitting-conducive Metrodome.
