That would have both bolstered what we could offer and cleared enough payroll to obtain Price.
    That's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered, moving Santana.

    Wren earlier this week was working on a similiar deal you mentioned with Santana going to the Yankees.

    Just because he's their #3 prospect that doesn't mean anything. In our system or any good system he probably wouldn't even be Top 15. His stuff is average across the board.

    Pick any "projectable" starter that isn't producing and will never have a career in majors.

    Sims is probably our best comparable. Projectable starter who is struggling stats wise. I certainly am not prepared to give up on Sims. And still believe he can be a major leaguer.
