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

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.

Or both guys could turn out to be duds (we dont know how Joba will handle being a starter) wheres Santana has proven himself under pressure and is in his prime. And money shouldnt even be an argument here, the market for starting pitchers is way overinflated, so when it comes time to resign them even if they dont live up to expectiations you will likely be overpaying them.
