I hate this trade, MN screwed this up so bad. I agree with Lou - they could have had TWO proven big leaguers, Elsbury or Melky Cabrera. I think the Yankees offer of Hughes and Melky, as well as Elsbury and Lester was FAR better than the Mets' offer. Gomez is fast, but I bet only 1 of the 3 prospects becomes an everyday type player.
I think Johan shut 'er down after the Twins traded Castillo and basically threw up the white flag on the season. I can see why he would, why get hurt when your $120 million dollar pay day is right around the corner. But I don't think I'd want that mentality on my team. Plus, he's had arm trouble and bone spurs - so I'd be a bit scared of giving him a 6 or 7 year deal.
I also hate it because now my Braves have to see him ALL THE TIME!!! BOOOO!!!
