Mark Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 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.

The Cheat Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Johan Santana December 13, 1999: Drafted by the Florida Marlins from the Houston Astros in the 1999 rule V draft.

Steroid Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 soo.... what happened to jared camp? I'm guessing he didn't exactly pan out the way we thought he would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 soo.... what happened to jared camp? I'm guessing he didn't exactly pan out the way we thought he would 453439[/snapback] I have no idea who camp is. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
