not necessarily, apparently. the fact that the twins would consider jon lester and coco crisp over phil hughes and melky cabrera is evidence that they are a) blithering idiots or b) in cahoots with boston.

any fool and their grandmother know that phil hughes is a better prospect than lester, not to mention lester is coming off cancer recovery. so he's a risk. plus hughes is regarded as one of the future pitching stars of MLB.

then cabrera is much more promising than coco crisp. sure hes got a fun name, but he hit .230 for most of the season last year. the melk man has to be worth more.

and then boston says they will only include ellsbury without lester...give me a break. man up and offer a fair trade. who gives a crap about just jacoby ellsbury. if you really want santana, offer ellsbury and bucholz. that would be on par with melky/hughes.

if the red sox actually pull off their blind robbery, i wont know what to say...the twins truly would have to be idiots to take that crap offer. who the heck wants coco crisp and jon lester. you might as well offer armando benitez and kenny lofton.
