He is young, only 22 years old and may develop into a nice player. I'd rather have Melky or Ellsbury. I think this is a great deal for the Mets. I don't think the Mets will miss these prospects and they are getting perhaps the best pitcher in the game. A starting staff of Santana, Pedro Martinez, John Maine, Oliver Perez, and Orlando Hernandez, is the best in the National League. I'm not sure what the Twins are getting in return, especially when you consider what they walked away from. .
