We All agree that Bill Smith Screwed up on that deal by taking the Mets Package of Prospects which most of the players became busts! the Main Part in that deal was CF Carlos Gomez (Traded to the Brewers for JJ Hardy) who was thought to be the Twins Future Lead off Hitter but later turned out to be a Bust. the twins also got in that Deal RHP Phil Humber (DFA & Signed with the royals) RHP Kevin Mulvey (Claimed by the Dbacks) & RHP Deolis Guerra (Twins Top 25 Prospect). The Twins Could picked the Redsox Package that had SP Jon Lester (one of the AL's Best Leftys next to CC) CF Coco Crisp (who was a Good Hitter in the AL Central and Great Center fielder) SS Jed Lowrie & RHP Justin Masterson. But 2 of the reasons the Deal that could of sent Santana to the Redsox and Lester to the twins Fell apart was the twins wanted both Lester and Ellsbury(instead of Crisp) & the Sox did not want to make a deadline! Even tho The Twins are a Good team they still could of used Jon Lester in there Rotation with Francisco Liriano and could of been a nice 1-2 punch! But as of Now the Redsox are thank full that the twins did not pick there Package because Jon Lester right now is the 2nd best lefty in the AL and Johan Santana is starting decline a little but still is a good lefty.
