I read in the SI.com rumor mill that if the twins send santana to the yanks they will be asking for Robinson Cano. I normally don't trust people with two last names, but I like Cano as a player. Good power for a middle infielder, seems to be contending to the batting title most years, good defense. I would prefer an outfielder because I think casilla will be ready to be an everyday 2nd baseman by 2009 at the latest. Maybe even next summer, so while cano is a good or even great player i don't think he fills one of our needs position wise. If we also got one of their top pitchers (Joba, hughes, kennedy) it would be tempting. On the flip side, i'm not sure the yankees would want to make that trade. They are trying to rebuild and win at the same time, a task not many teams can accomplish. So giving up one of two young guns in Cano and whatever pitcher would be involved seems counterproductive. Having a stopper like santana would do wonders for the yanks come october, but at what cost? They lose one of their top hitters to get santana who they might not be able to keep after 08, although i doubt they will let him get away due to dollar amounts. In other news, JC Romero signed a 3 year/12MM dollar deal with the phils. That sucks for them. 4 mil a year for a lefty setup guy. Pitches maybe 75 innings all year and he makes almost as much as joe nathan? What the f**k?

I like Cano, but if we trade Johan we need to fill holes at at least two of 3B/CF/DH, plus get a mid-to-high level pitching prospect. The Yankees can do that with Cano/Melky Cabrera/(Joba, Hughes, Kennedy), but it's unlikely they'll make a trade like that. They've said that their young pitchers are NOT on the market, no way no how. Which is unfortunate. I don't think this is much of a rumor; there's no deal to be made with the Yankees. They're going to give the youth movement a go, and have the money to chase Santana on the open market next year.
Especially since Steinbrenner Jr told Girardi that they're going to have patience with him and not expect a championship this year (which they did not say of Torre). So they can afford to wait for Santana.
