What part of my analysis do you think is off?

Just the first part:

1. Trade Hughes for Santana (I think Kennedy's a better pitcher anyway),

If the Yankees trade Hughes or Joba for Santana I will stop being a fan.

Johan had a 3.3 ERA (ranked 7th in the league) and 6th in innings pitched and is only 28 years old and is a proven #1 starter. Hughes ERA was in the mid 4's and he is at best unproven, plus the yanks would have joba, kennedy, and wang as young guns. Johan would lock down the #1 starter positon for the next 5 years at least, while we dont even know what were getting with Hughes. Alot of top prospects have turned out to be duds.

At first I thought you were joking. (Hoped you were joking.)

Why? (Assuming Santana is signed long-term.)

Because it's a stupid move. Both guys could turn out to have Santana-like dominance, and for a fraction of the price.

As for Pettitte, I said I could take him or leave him. I suspect he is coming back - he is good for pitching a lot of innings, a quality that's somewhat undervalued.

Joba is so nasty. Actually I'm curious too.

Edit: I see.

Johan projects way better for the next 5 years than either of them, and the money for the Yankees is irrelevant. why in the world wouldn't you want Johan for Hughes?

One reason:

Hughes is 21.

Santana is 28.
