Where should Johan Santana go?

myasu · 08-23-2007, 10:06 PM

So, Johan Santana is not happy with the Twins (at least he does not think his team is serious enough to win the WS)

I think his decision on which team he is gonna play could have a HUGE impact on the power balance of the league.

Where do you guys think he would go, or he should go for the next several years?

Anaheim

better him than ARod

marioh · 08-23-2007, 10:20 PM

He'd be a perfect fit for the Mets.

Prodigal Son · 08-23-2007, 10:23 PM

Whatever team a poster roots for will probably be where he'll say Johan should go.

So...Atlanta would be a great fit.

I know, I know

I want him in Red Sox uniform for sure!
But I would love to see him in NL, where he could possibly be more dominant. (without DH and everything)

Anywhere but New York City

I think he'd make a great Yankee.

Washington has no chance is hell of landing him
So hopefully the 60-day DL

Big Hugg · 08-24-2007, 01:21 AM

Nippon Ham Fighters

edrooney · 08-24-2007, 06:41 AM

The Reds. Resign longball Eric Milton to a new deal, then swap him straight up for Santana.

(after getting the Twins GM addicted to crack beforehand)

jaxmagicman · 08-24-2007, 07:34 AM

Florida Marlins.

ctorg · 08-24-2007, 08:12 AM

I don't know that there is much demand for his services. He'll probably end up in Japan or some cheap independent league where he will finish his career in obscurity.

But you can't disappoint Angel fans who seemed to love A-Rod this week. We'll take Santana as a consolation prize.

Now is the opportunity that I have been seeking to compliment your baby picture.

Given how rich we are making those teams over there, and their continued improvement in quality, that may not be a bad deal in the future.

When was the last time the best pitcher in Major League in his prime went on the open market?

Joshv02 · 08-24-2007, 09:03 AM

I think it would be fun if he stayed in Minn for his career.

Billy Beane will sign him to a 10-year, $200,000,000 contract. Just another ****ing-A BB move.

Possibly two years ago. Otherwise, at least not since the 80's.
