Just Sayin'

Compare these two players:

Player A: 16 GS / 7-6 / 107.7 IP / 2.92 ERA / 139 ERA+
Player B: 17 GS / 6-2 / 103.7 IP / 3.13 ERA / 138 ERA+

Figured it out yet? More hints:

Player A: 95 SO / 103 H / 35 ER / 29-years old
Player B: 65 SO / 99 H / 36 ER / 24-years old

Player A is of course Johan Santana and Player B is Jon Lester. I wonder how Twins fans feel when they see Lester pitching or Jacoby Ellsbury playing the outfield. I know how I would feel and it wouldn't be very charitable towards the Twins GM. I'm guessing that the Red Sox weren't ever really serious about making any trade for Santana though.
