And it becomes even sillier when you are talkin' double AA players - even if they are doing well or bad, who knows what their major league future holds til they get three and play. Cabrera, along with his decent bat, has played an excellent center field, chasing down ball in the gaps and catching them One month into a season is a bit early to look at who was missed in a trade and who was traded.

Sure, theres a guy or two that might have been "better", but a couple other guys in those potential deals may have been less desirable than what they got...Too bad they couldn't have gotten Joba or Jose Reyes, but I'm happy with Gomez, Mulvey and what could be a good pitcher in Guerra.

This is his second slump of the year. The last one lasted 10 at bats, and everyone said "send him down".

It was news to Santana, he never knew the Cubs had inquired and would have been willing to go there. Were there any other teams interested that the Twins said NO to before talking to Johan? Could they have gotten more for him? Did anyone see the comment in the Chicago papers that the Cubs called about Santana but were told he wasn’t interested?

Were there any other teams interested that the Twins said NO to before talking to Johan? Could they have gotten more for him?
