Yeah I'm so pumped for baseball.

Anyway, a new day...a new Johan rumor. The Star-Tribune has said that the Twins are all but certain to trade Santana before Spring Training, and that Bill Smith is pretty much trying to prepare fans for a deal they are gonna hate. With Ellsbury and Hughes still not on the table, the Twins may be forced to accept an offer of Gomez, Guerra, Mulvey, and Humber.

If thats what gets it done I have to give props for not throwing Fernando Martinez out there right away. The fact is I think their current offer is the best one out there even without Martinez included. The fans might hate it because none of the 4 are ready to be big-league contributors, but they weren't winning anything this year as is. Including Fernando now would do nothing because Smith is still gonna wait on a Hughes or Ellsbury. As long as the Yanks and Sox stand pat, Johan will be a Met.

Unfortunately I'm fully expecting Hank to come out and say he's willing to include Hughes or something...just because thats how its been this offseason, for every positive report there is a negative one right back.
