July 11, 200422 yr For taking 3 of 4 from the Twinkies in the homerdome. Johann Santana has had some tough breaks this year, first that 2-1 loss to the Sox and now a 2-0 loss to the Tigers today. He only gave up two hits, one of them being a two run homer. Wow.
July 11, 200422 yr Thanks.... Now we'll face each other 18? times after the break... Santana is fricken' sick.... It's sad that he didn't make the Yankee/Indian-Star team. Since June 1st he's got an ERA of about 2, striking out 10 per game, opponents batting
July 12, 200422 yr Johan Santana December 13, 1999: Drafted by the Florida Marlins from the Houston Astros in the 1999 rule V draft. December 13, 1999: Traded by the Florida Marlins to the Minnesota Twins for Jared Camp (minors) and cash. -- BaseballReference.com
July 12, 200422 yr soo.... what happened to jared camp? I'm guessing he didn't exactly pan out the way we thought he would

Though from the transactions I think I can figure out what happened. Minnesota was high on Santana, higher than the Marlins were. The way the rule V draft works is you have to pay the team you draft a player from $50,000. So it looks like Florida drafted Santana, paying the $50,000 to Houston. The one caveat of a rule V pick is that you have to keep the player on the 25 man roster, or send them back to the original team. Minnesota still wanted him though, and offered $ and a player(Camp). So Florida got a player esentially for free, who they were in no way obligated to keep on thier roster. It was a lower risk move.
