heck, I'd make the Mets an offer in earnest for Johan Santana. if they're broke, they'd probably appreciate getting out from under that contract as long as we give them enough talent to allow them to save some face (something like Bowden, Wagner, Yamaico Navarro).
I'd sure love to bring Santana to Boston if the price was right. He'd be more reliable than Erik Bedard and more likely to be available than Felix Hernandez, that's for dang sure.
