I think signing Santana was a great move. Trevor May needs to learn how to throw strikes consistently, he'll always be a liability until that happens. He did it for a long stretch in Rochester, but lost it after he missed some time with a minor injury. Until he gets to a point where the control is never an issue for him, you can't hold a rotation spot open and pass on a proven commodity like Santana. Make May or Meyer beat the other one out, there's nothing wrong with a little competition. If Berrios is lighting the world on fire, you can figure out a way to make room for him assuming everyone is healthy.

The Twins have lost a lot of games the last four years, that's not breaking news. To say the twins need to consider that Santana could be taking a rotation spot from Trevor May or any other prospect other than Meyer this season or next is ridiculous! This guy is a proven innings eater and competent middle of the rotation pitcher. The twins need as many good arms for the starting rotation as possible. I'm sure the bullpen would appreciate a guy who throws 200 innings. If they were to add another guy like Masterson, I'd be okay with that too. Get as many good arms as possible, and the starting rotation will fall into place. I'm not saying I think they'll sign two guys, I know that's a pipe dream. I'm just saying you can't have enough good pitching. If a free agent is good enough to be the number three or better go get him!
