Ervin Santana -
I would have preferred Dan Haren (which I think most of you know), but I can get behind acquiring Santana.
He's going to give you 200 innings and 30 starts. And he's likely going to have an ERA somewhere between 3.50-4.00, if he's healthy (And his HR rate from last year comes back to his career rates, rather than staying at 2x that).
This is equivalent to signing one second-tier starter on the FA market (or re-signing Guthrie), IMO.
It's a good start. They need to acquire at LEAST one more guy at that level.
