reason 3, hughes costs you an order of magnitude less.

Given how good and cheap hughes and joba are, and how many teams will be competing for santana, I dont see how the yankees would ever trade for him, doesnt make sense.

also, hughes is 21, has only pitched 72 ml innings, most of which were after an injury which he has all summer to recuperate from. Who gives a [censored] if his ERA is over 4. Also, if I remember will carrolls columns correctly, the injury he had is a type that is unlikely to recur or have lasting effects.
