If we got Johan


Blackout

Recommended Posts

I want it to happen. I also think it would encourage Pettite to come back. Wang / Johan and Andy would be an awesome 1-3 punch. If Joba works out as a starter, our pitching staff would piss down Bostons throats all year long.

Bosox prefer Gatorade but thanks for thinking of them. ;)

Best case scenario: Yankees land Santana, Andy comes back, Hughes and Joba are not traded.

Santana

Andy

Wang

Joba

Hughes, vs.

Beckett

Schilling

Dice-K

Lester

Buckholtz

To be honest, that is fairly even, unless Schilling is injured, or Dice-K does not take a step up.

Now consider if the cost for Santana is Hughes, and Andy does not come back:

Santana

Wang

Joba

Kennedy

Mussina, vs.

Beckett

Schilling

Dice-K

Lester

Buckholtz.

I think the Bosox are favored in this match-up.

Or, how about if Boston gets Johan while giving up Lester.

Santana

Beckett

Dice

Schilling

Buckholtz.

Papelbon.

Good night.

Would you give up Joba to negate him from going to the Sox?

No. Joba appears to have the capability to be a dominant SP.

If not we already know he can blow away hitters in the 8th and 9th innings. He's a untouchable IMO.

Also if either team fails to land Santana they have the goods to go get Dan Haren cheaper.
