He'll definately be in another uniform come spring. It was rumored that the Yanks were looking to gain him until A-Rod sucked up to the Steiners. I actually wouldn't be suprised if he moved out west to the Angels or Dodgers.

I'd never go for that deal. Ellsbury is just too damn good to let go. Let's think about this.. instead of Ellsbury, you get rid of CoCo, Clement and hell.. even trade Schill if need be. You also have Henske that can be a good player in a market like Minnesota. I think it would be suicide to give up Ellsbury, Buckholtz and probably.. Kielty. Theo has always been about keeping a good farm team intact, and that trade would destroy it in one swipe of the pen.
I would love to get Santana to a 3-4 year contract.. but at the same time I wonder how he would fare in a big, hostile market.
