Santana!

I could have started off by putting some cool NY Post title like "Santastic" or "Santamental value" but I figured one word is enough to describe what this one's all about.

Yesterday the New York Mets agreed to a trade with the MLB's best pitcher in the last 5 years. Johan Santana's numbers were 94-44 with a 3.03 ERA and 1381 K's in 1301.2 innings. He has dominated the American League (where the better hitters lay) and almost guaranteed a win every five games for the Minnesota Twins. Now, Santana will do all that and more. He is now in the National League, where in some divisions .500 usually gives u division, and in a Mets uniform. Let’s break down this trade.

The Mets received Johan Santana and gave the Twins Carlos Gomez (Speedy 21-year-old prospect hit .232 in 125 at-bats last year.) Phillip Humber, (2004 first-round draft pick underwent Tommy John surgery in 2005 and posted a 7.71 ERA in three appearances last September.) Kevin Mulvey (Mets' top pick in 2006, righty struck out 113 in 157.2 innings in 27 starts, all but one at Double-A Binghamton last year.) and Deolis Guerra (19-year-old righty went 2-6 with a 4.01 ERA for Single-A Port St. Lucie last year.)

Now if you ask me, I think it was a steal for NY now and in the future. The Mets needed that one top of the rotation starter after last years September collapse and Glavines departure to Atlanta. The Mets will heavily benefit this deal. If you got a couple of grand to invest your safer putting it in a 3-1 that Mets take division than in the stock market. Thank You Omar, now Mets fans can sleep well
