Does everyone forget 2006? He was having a solid season until the Yankees found ways to lose the games he was starting. I believe he could have put up his first 20 win season if he had more support. Don't count him out yet, the guy is very determined and at the end of the season he got us some much needed wins. I know a lot of people rip on Moose, but I like the guy.

They should have a 30-team, 70 player trade. Or for Christmas, everyone puts their #1 starter in a grab bag, and take turns randomly picking a starter. Then Yanks have a 1/30 chance of landing Santana. Sweeet! Hahahaha What is the most number of teams involved in a trade? 4? They should have a 30-team, 70 player trade.

Figure something out with billy beane. I bet cash is at least touching base with beane throughout the madness even if nothing goes down.

Perhaps one of the Mets' OF prospects goes to the Twins? I'd put actual chance of a trade like that going down below 10%, though, and that might be optimistic.
