I think Omar's gonna try and LOAD the contract with money for 5 years and see if Santana bites. But if not, I'd still give him 6 or 7 years if it was a must. 5 potentially awesome years of Johan would offset the 2 broken down ones.

Santana is the best FA pitcher to hit free agency since Clemens came to NY the first time. I think he might offer 6 years with an option 7th at least.
