Maybe it's the frustration talking, but Charlie evinces needless incredulity over Johan Santana's likely move over to the Mets. The idea of being the undisputed best pitcher in the National League sounds pretty good to me. Omar Minaya is a brilliant GM, the Mets have a huge payroll, and a dominant, 28-year old AL pitcher is just going to look better in the NL. Obviously I would prefer Santana to go to the Yankees, just as Charlie would prefer he go to the Red Sox, but in the grand scheme of things, this might be best for all of us.

Now we just need Tim Marchman to explain how this all went down. Lucky us!
