Santana to Mets ...if they give up the farm...

It's true, the Mets could possible get Johan Santana if they throw in their highly touted prospect Fernando Martinez along with Chris Gomez, Philip Humber, Kevin Mosbey, and some other weird named dude. (I don't even know if Kevin Mosbey is right, I listened to this on SNYOnline).

Brandon Tierney (from 1050 ESPN), who is probably the biggest fucking idiot I have ever seen. Aside from the fact that he says Santana is a great idea. Apparently he doesn't hesitate a bit. He brings up old-school prospect guys like Paul Wilson and says that prospects should be regarded as "Suspect" because they're not shitting and getting off the pot.

FUCK THE HECK!?

Seriously, Brandon, what the fuck is wrong with you, idiot? Half of these guys are fucking Double-A guys, who need serious time in the farm system. That's what the Farm System is THERE FOR! Holy Shit. Brandon Tierney is a fucking moron, and he says afterward that there's a lot to consider (even though he said it was a no-brainer) and apparently if the Mets sign Santana they've won the NL East.

Santana went 15-13 in 2007, with a 3.33 ERA.

Yeah, the Mets are going to win it all.

I want to compare the Mets/Twins rosters from 2007.

At first base you have Carlos Delgado for the Mets, and Justin Morneau for the Twins.

Morneau hit .271 with 31 dingers and 111 RBIs.
Delgado hit .258 with 24 HRs, and 87 RBIs.

Second Base really sucks for both teams; The Mets went out and got (big shock) Luis Castillo ...from the Twins!

Castillo hit .304 with no HRs, and 18 RBIs for the Twins
Castillo hit .296 with 1 HR and 20 RBIs for the Mets

...

I give up...

I'm too lazy to even consider doing the rest of this. First of all, I don't see how one player like Santana can make the Mets better when Pedro was supposed to be the answer to all the problems. They still fucking lost, they still had the worst downward spiral in the last month of the 2007, that it looked like they might just implode. They've brought up a couple of guys from their farm system, guys like David Wright and Jose Reyes, whose talent I can't argue with (Gold Glove is a bit much), but you can't just put all your eggs in one basket, you can't just sign everyone, you have to kind of develop talent.

Or Not.

And you can have a payroll in the $200+ Million range and lose every fucking year...

Good luck with that.
