The problem is that this OK slash is better than anything the Royals have, so let's not act we're talking about an elite prospect. We're not. And, again, Santana would be throwing to the NL, and he'd offer you a really, really nasty three-man rotation. |
You want to talk about overrating prospects, this is a classic example. Granted, if I'm the Cards, I'm trying for another piece. Santana + maybe the likes of an Adams or such. From the Royals perspective, I'm sure as hell not emptying assets for a prospect that profiles about as well as Gio, who clearly ****ed Moore's wife.

This team needs Jeff Blauser.

Santana has been really good this year. Really good. But he's also not under contract this year and outside of this year, he's been meh. So lets not act lke we're talking about an elite pitcher, overall either. Based on the way the Cardinals GM and front office have ran the business the last few years, they aren't exactly keen on letting go of young cost controlled players. SO either way, I dont' think this would ever come to fruition. |

However, if Wong is such an overrated prospect, why would you be so willing to part with someone viewed by some as a front end starter for a 2nd baseman who you already seem to have? |
Deez, I'll also add that Santana's contract is a large part of the reason I'd rather move Wong for Peavy.
So I do admit that plays a large part of it. |
Plus Peavy's pitched in the NL and is familiar with the league's style.

The Royals aren't doing shit this year. They might make a run, but the math isn't in their favor, and they're not re-signing Santana. Thus, they need to move this highly marketable piece for something that legitimately helps the club in '14. And Wong would do this. No, he's not a world-beater, but I think he'd be a viable starter on a contending club. |
Hoping we trade Peavy and Ramirez to STL

I dont' think they move Santana because of what it implies however. But echoing what I said in another post, the contractual problem with Santana becomes a problem here. I don't know that he can be what he's been this year, for the life or even half the life of the contract he wants. That doesn't really make him that valuable to the Cards with what we potentially have in the organization already in terms of pitching. |
Who gives a shit what STL wants or needs? I don't, and I doubt many Royals fans do either. If they want to pick up a guy who's 8th in the al in era with a 1.08 whip then they'll have to pay up. If not who cares, they go with what they have. You can't fool your way to his numbers this year.
But it's really Santana and a sandwich pick from what I've heard so it ain't "2 months" only. That's false |
