The Johan Santana talks "heat" up for the 79th time today. ESPN.com is headlining this story, which isn't really anything new at all. The Yankees said this, and the Red Sox won't offer Lester and Ellsbury, but look out for the Mets, yada, yada, yada. I've heard the same garbage since early December...why doesn't somebody take the cojones out of Mama's purse and grab the best pitcher in baseball? My second thought is that the Twins 4 year $80M extension offer isn't really looking all that shabby now, seeing as how none of the Evil Empires have leaked any information about being willing to offer Santana the $150M over six years that he is supposedly seeking. If I'm Bill Smith, I'm expanding the splash I caused last Friday with the Morneau and Cuddyer signing by offering Santana what he is worth: A five year extension for $110M. Smith could instantly erase all of the negativity that has clouded this Twins off-season with the departure of Hunter and the Santana trade talk. Suddenly things would all seem right in Twinsland once again, with the pitcher, the slugger, and the ballpark all locked and loaded for a 2010 World Series run. Just a bit of advice...

I see that despite your consistent posts you have yet to see any comments. Just thought I'd be the first to say nice work - I hope you keep it going!
