i dunno, zito went for 126/7, soriano went 136/8, i dont see how 200/8 is all that crazy considering how much better santana is than those two

Is this Scott Boras posting? Referencing two horrible contracts to justify another horrible contract? Pitchers get hurt too much to give one an 8 year contract.
Oh, and Clemens set the bar for one year deals, not per year averages for long term deals. Teams need a big discount for long term deals simply to compensate for the vastly greater injury risk.
That's said, Santana is definitely worth 5/$100M, or maybe even a little more. That would be a smart deal, and he might take it since he'd still be close enough to his prime to get another big deal afterwards.
