After going threw the winter meetings with no trade from the Redsox or Yankees. The talks seemed to fade. The New York Mets jumped into the conversation two weeks ago. Well it turns out coming in late is better than lading the race.
The Twins send two time Cy-young winner Johan Santana to the Mets for four top Mets prospects. For Johan the Twins will get the 2,3,4, and 7 prospects in the mets farm system. Carlos Gomez is the most known of the four prospects that the twins got. Gomez is a speedster with great potential. He has a glove like Torii and an arm like Valdy. I see him being a Jose Reyes at the plate and a Grady Sizemore on the field. Deolis Guerra is the youngest guy on this list, but don't let that fool you. Hes got electric stuff and arm, and is still learning everyday only being 18 years old. Peter Gamons from ESPN said "he's got great stuff and will be a big time pitcher is this league." Philip Humber is a tall strong pitcher drafted out of University of Rice. He's got very good stuff and has a build like Beckett. He looks to start in the Twins Rotation this spring and season. Kevin Mulvey is not as highly noted as many of the mets high prospect pitchers, but he is very good. He had a 3.20 ERA in double this past season and gave up only 1 hit in 5 innings in his only triple-A start last season. The future is looking good for the Twins, but giving up Johan was not easy.
