He's had a great career for the Sox but small market teams need to put complete players on the diamond. And, how could you afford to protect him in the lineup? He's benefited big time form having that other goofball (don't get me started on another Manny rant)hitting next to him.

Oh, I think we could find room for him on the bench to DH. Any team that claims they couldn't keep a hitter of that ability around because he can't field is foolish. Heck, he gets on base at a .384 lifetime clip. Recently he has put up OBP's in the .400s and slugged in the .600's. I am pretty sure the Twins(or any team for that matter) would let him leave his glove wherever he wanted as long as he hit like that. He is a picture perfect DH with an OPS of over 1.000!

I do agree about his protection in the lineup in Boston. Manny is a heck of a hitter and does provide protection for him in that great hitting lineup they have.

what is the offer that we have out there for Santana? I thought it was like 4 years 80 million.

Thats it 4 yr 80 thats on top of the 1 year on his contract for 13mill and some change, so we would have him locked for 5 years 93 mill!

Somebody was talkin about Cano --

No way are they going to give him up. They don't have to either. They know he is theirs if they want to spend the money on them.

Money is messing up our dealing the BEST pitcher in MLB.

That is really upsetting.

Hard to believe we can't get more -- I would think Hughes(don't trust him), Melky (don't like him) and Cano is a pretty fair deal.
