Who knows really. Harren would cost a lot , but I dont think he would cost as much as Santana. The sox said they would not give up both Lester and Ellsbury.
Why does the hughes package trump Lester and Ellsbury? Jocobe and Lester proved themselves in the biggest stage there is. The twins could very well value Ellsbury very high. I would not be shocked , the kid is going to be a star.
I say that because of the projections I've seen of the two players. Yes, right now, Lester has a better MLB track record, but Hughes' projections are to be a #1, whereas Lester doesn't.
It's taking nothing away from Ellsbury, I'm just going by a number one starter being extremely coveted.
ALTHOUGH, the Twins may like Ellsbury beyond just what he brings to the field. He's native American, and Minny has a higher concentration of those than other states, so they may look at it as a fan draw.
Lastest rumors having Santana staying put. Who knows?
