But it's really Santana and a sandwich pick from what I've heard so it ain't "2 months" only. That's false

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.

Then I'm curious as to why his numbers have been what they've been other than this year and if they will continue at this years level.

If he could/would be what he's been up to this point in KC, for say, the next 2 years, yeah I make that deal.

However, i don't necessarily think thats something that will happen.

A team moves for Santana who wants to win big this year. That's it. Plain and simple. And if you can win big, there's no price too high.

True.


But IMO, at this point, I'd rather move for Peavy because he helps win big this year and next year without a new deal.

I mean, I'd want to head into a series with Lynn as my #2, too, so it's cool.

He's the 3 actually.

Do you think Santana is a 2.5 WAR pitcher next year?

Then you're set with that vaunted two-man rotation, assuming the n00b doesn't shit himself.
