Santana's slow starts are pretty easy to explain: He's from the Dominican Republic. Early season in Minnesota and anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line is gonna be cold. As the temps warm up, so does Santana. Too early to even think of trading Ervin. One really good start may cause reminiscing of last years 5-1 finish, but that was last year. I'd have to see 2-3 more starts similar to this last one before I'd gauge the market. Subtracting Santana while still having Nolasco and Hughes on the roster seems like a pretty bad idea to me. Granted, Hughes is coming off surgery, but making a decision on those 2 seems like a higher priority to me.
