Bill Smith traded Santana for Gomez and other guys who are no longer with the team. Santana was, and arguably still is, the best pitcher in baseball. Gomez is a guy who swings at everything and is an almost instant out. We traded Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett to the Rays, and we got good ol' Delmon Young. Matt Garza is now an ace, and Jason Bartlett is one of the Rays' best players now, and a main catalyst to their run last season. Delmon Young has an OBP under .310, and has no ability to lay off the first pitch. The way I see it, we could have kept Bartlett, and dealt Garza for something better than Young, of all the guys we could have got for Matt Garza, a guy who has attitude problems. Santana was too expensive, and if we had to trade him, I'd prefer trading for Ellsbury and Bucholz (Because as a Sox fan, I wouldn't want to give up Lester when we could easily have him and Santana back-to-back). Bill Smith is a moron, simple as that
