		<description>We just need to keep buying time until he&#039;s traded to a non-contender then let go to free agency. Then we&#039;ll swoop in with prospects still in hand.</description>

		<description>I think Santana will age well. Randy Johnson relied purely on power. Santana changes speeds with his change, slider and cutter. He can still be great at 88-90. Why is everyone assuming he&#039;ll lose velocity anytime soon. He&#039;s only 29. Everyone seems to think that Santana is an injury waiting to happen even though he has been one of the most durable pitchers in the game over the course of his career. I&#039;d be more worried about a guy like Peavy who has an awkward motion and puts a ton of stress on his arm. I&#039;m really not sure whether I want NYY to trade for Johan, but right now I&#039;m of the opinion that Hank should pull the trigger. If they don&#039;t do this deal, I commend Hank for  finally showing some restraint and listening to Cashman.</description>

		<description>The best situation possible is we don&#039;t trade for Santana and we sign him as a free agent next year.

I&#039;d rather keep The Phranchise and see what the kid&#039;s got. For all we know Santana could come to New York and completely lay an egg or get blasted by AL East hitting. It&#039;s cheaper and Phil has more of an upside to him, and hopefully he won&#039;t take long to mold into a great pitcher.

I want to see the products of our farm system now that it&#039;s been better than ever for the past few years. Don&#039;t you?</description>

		<description>I know Santana is unbelievable pitcher now,but no one know the future. Don&#039;t get me wrong. I like to have Santana as well, but not at any price. Santana&#039;s success so far is based on his fantastic changeup when his fastball run around 92-94.But, If he somehow drop 2 mph on his fastball which range from 90-92 instead of 92-94, Santana won&#039;t be the same pitcher. The best example is Randy Johnson. When Randy Johnson lost velocity on his fastball, he become totally different pitcher.</description>

		<description>Not even bother to mention those five-games sweep in Fanway Park at late August in 2006 season when Wang won one and Beckett lost one. There is another 2 games in standard.

Thinking about what we have and appreciating their efforts they gave to us. Don&#039;t just see the bad things. There is something else except winning when it come down to root for a team. Enjoy the whole process and efforts when watching baseball games.</description>

		<description>To McLovin

&quot;If Cano or Wang was traded for Beckett last year yes people would have been mad.But nobody would care because we would have won the World series last year with Beckett on our team and won the division&quot;

Yankees need to trade Wang and Cano to get Beckett and Lowell who won&#039;t be the same hitter in the Yankees stadium when they have a third baseman called A-Rod. Sometimes trade just don&#039;t work out that way.

You can&#039;t just replace player A with player B and say Yankees would have won world series in 2007. Winning a baseball game is a combination of everything, such as offense,defense,starting pitchers,bullpen,coach staff,luck,chemistry,opponents and in-game tactics,etc.. Wang certainly is the big reason for Yankees not winning it all in 2007 season, but he is not the only reason.

Did you pay attention on Yankees games 2006 season? If Yankees have Beckett and Lowell in 2006 instead of Wang and Cano, they would miss playoff in 2006 before thinking about winning it all in 2007. Why? Forget about all product Cano put on since come back from DL that year. Yankees scored two runs or less in 8 games when Wang started in 2006, but Yankees record is 4-4 under that situation. If Beckett pitched in these 8 games, Yankees probably would go 0-8 based on performance of Beckett in 2006.</description>
