    Pelfrey, no, he never struck out enough people. Nolasco, maybe. Though his bounce back ceiling is more #3 starter than #2. The question seems to be more how do you find someone who could potentially top the rotation with Hughes if everything breaks right.

    Brett Anderson would be a great choice if Rick Anderson were still the pitching coach. He has that Hughesian trait of having good but not great command and decent stuff. But since Rick isn't the pitching coach, I'm not quite sure how it will play out. It will be interesting to see what the new philosophy on pitching the organization takes. Depending on the price tag, I'd take a shot at any of them though. In a worst case scenario, any of them could be a cromulent reliever even if the starting thing doesn't work out.

    To me, the question of moving to Santana to shortstop opens up the question of "What do you do with Escobar?" He's older, and not as sexy of a long-term prospect as Santana. But he's having a good season and his power spike and solid-to-good defense at short gives him value, something the Twins have rarely had at the position. I don't have any qualms about leaving Santana in centerfield for that reason, to see what he can do long-term against major league pitching.

    I think the problem for using WAR with a player like Gagne is that the play-by-play data to create an acurate UZR didn't exist until 2002. Since so much of Gagne's value is in his glove and that's where his WAR value lies. But it 's an interesting read and the point is clear that developing a good shortstop is hard to do.
