# Johan Santana'METS 'Since 2004, no one has been as dominating as Santana, as he won two Cy Young awards in that time. From '04 to '06 he averaged 18 wins, 230 innings, and almost 250 strikeouts to only 48 walks. He stumbled a bit last season (a season most other pitchers would take in a

Cleveland Indians fans ought to be rejoicing about C.C. Sabathia's decision to postpone contract negotiations until after the season. The reigning American Cy Young Award winner will be a free agent after 2008, and the Indians had reportedly offered him a contract extension in the neighborhood of four years/$68 million.

After the 2007 MLB season ended, I wrote an article in which I attempted to pinpoint the best position player on each team. This was going to be the first of several articles where I ran down the best players in baseball. I shelved it, however, for several reasons. First, people had just

In a word, abso-freakin-lutely!!! Here are the Facts: Johan Santana, the undisputed best pitcher in MLB right now, is a free agent after the 2008 season. Based on contracts given out to pitchers like Barry Zito and Carlos Zambrano, who are not in the same class as Santana, Santana is expected to be offered a contract in the range of 5-6 years and $140-160 million next offseason.

Baseball America recently listed the Giants top 10 prospects heading into 2008. The most surprising thing about this list is how many players it contains from the 2007 amateur draft. That just goes to show you how thin the Giants farm system is when 4/10 of the prospects listed where in high school
