Will he be the face of the franchise when he's 38, batting .220 with a .650 OPS at DH and making $15 million?

I like the trade for Young, but the fact that we are trying to move Santana and we gave away one of our top young guns in Garza, I'm worried. We are now banking our rotation on Liriano who is coming off of a 1.5 year hiatus due to injury and fucking Carlos Silva.

And Silva's a free agent looking for Pavano/Meche money.

I think the Twins should move Santana to the mets or marlins for the likes of Wright or Cabrera. We have a great utility fielder in Punto (although he is one of the worst everyday hitters in the league), we could definitely use a bat to complement Mauer/Morneau.

They aren't getting Wright (and the Mets supposedly laughed at a Reyes deal), and the Marlins don't want expensive players for Cabrera (or else they would just pay him).
As long as the Twins are willing to wait, they will get Ellsbury. Why would the Sox give up a chance at a dominating rotation for the next five years for a guy with 15-home-run power and a low .800s OPS?
Make the deal Ellsbury, Lester and Lowrie, and the Twins will have their replacement for Hunter's bat (Lowrie), glove (Ellsbury) and Santana/Garza/Silva/whatever you want to call him (Lester). Both sides win.
