Going for my third winning thread in a row. And I hate the White Sox with all my heart.

Starting Pitchers
Kansas City: Shields (4-7, 3.24 ERA)
Chicago: Quintana (5-2, 3.61 ERA)

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

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.

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.

I'm just hoping a club comes out that throws out an offer he can't refuse. It'd be stupid to hang onto Santana.

O.city · 07-26-2013, 09:46 PM

And I dont' even know what he's going to want in terms of a contract this offseason. Do you guys have any idea?

**DeezNutz** · 07-26-2013, 09:46 PM

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.

Santana had had several excellent seasons so I don't know your point here. We bought him on the dip and it worked. If last year mattered then Verlader woul still be the best starter in baseball, not the dude getting rocked constantly

**DeezNutz** · 07-26-2013, 09:48 PM

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

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.

And a shit ton of money for a player with a history of injuries.

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

Cause if he is, sign me up.

He's the 3 actually.

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

Well he's more like a 4 war this year and obv that's all I care about since he is gone regardless. Given his age and prior success in MLB I'd suspect 2.5 war would be near the low end and someone is going to pony up big cash for him, maybe Mets or Baltimore, someone like that.

I'd rather have him + sandwich pick than a 2B with mediocre projectability

WAR is cumulative, so he's trending for 4 WAR this year. At his best he's been 5, so I'd anticipate 3, pretty safely, which he's done on several occasions.

Sure-Oz · 07-26-2013, 09:54 PM

Santana has been cruising all season....no reason to think he's going to falter. He's def. better than having Peavy the rest of the season or Garza

I think Lynns a good enough 3 at this point, but it's going to depend on Miller not sucking and being what he was early.

For better or worse though, because based on what I've read I dont' think the F/O in STL thinks they need another starter so we'll find out.
