According to Christensen, the Mets have offered top pitching prospect Deolis Guerra, along with center fielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Kevin Mulvey and Phil Humber. While neither Mulvey or Humber project to be much better than a No. 4 starter in the majors, the Twins allegedly like Guerra, an 18-year-old, 6-5 righthander who pitched to a 4.01 ERA in Class A Florida State League last season. The problem with Guerra, as well as Gomez and Mets' top prospect Fernando Martinez, is that none of them are polished, major-league-ready kids such as Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury and Jon Lester. While the prospects that the Mets are offering could very well be better than anyone else on the table, they are several years away from realizing that potential, and could just as likely wind up as complete busts. For that reason, the Twins are extremely hesitant to pull the trigger on the Mets' best offer thus far, however, Christensen writes that Minnesota has told the Mets they could seal the deal if Martinez were added to the package.
Let's say that again. The Mets would have a "done deal" for Johan Santana if they were to offer a package of Fernando Martinez, Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Keven Mulvey, and Philip Humber. Who do you think is sleeping less restfully this week, Omar Minaya or Twins GM Bill Smith?
