MLB 2007-2008 Offseason Thread

Wang needs to bring his slider into the game more. He did it every now and then and he dominated people. I remember one game where he used the slider as his out pitch against the Sox and he was killing them. He came up through the system with the slider as his best pitch anyway. Nowadays if his sinker isn't sinking much or even if its moving too much he gets knocked around pretty bad. Just like against Cleveland; hopefully they get him working on that this season.

And after that Twins trade I really think the Yankees chances in getting Santana may have dropped. They got a center fielder in the deal which may not make Melky that much more appealing to them. And Melky was a pretty huge part of that deal if it were ever to happen. I could definitely see the Twins asking for too much for Santana now and not trading him at all.
