I'm not sure who the bigger dumbass in this equation is, Santana or the agent.

If they had to do it all over again, they obviously would have taken the QO. We shouldn't get into revisionist history here, this *IS* a very big surprise. Perhaps the agents who are the real experts in this should know more than we do, but at the time everybody thought that he'd get a long-term deal for way more than we could afford, if not the 9-digit number they initially asked for.
