Hank, please ignore this media hype which seems to be working as usual

• Hank, NO DEAL. LET THE RED SOX HAVE HIM. LET ANYONE HAVE HIM, I DON'T CARE. DO NOT GIVE UP PHIL HUGHES.

NY Times, Tyler Kepner: "The Yankees’ chance of dealing for Johan Santana depends on their willingness to include Phil Hughes in a trade offer. So far, the Yankees have resisted doing that, but their stance may change soon."

• From NY Times article by Tyler Kepner, "Twins Insist on Hughes for Santana," 12/1/07

(Please, Hank, forget this deal. Take a gander at Santana's post season record. He won't win you the World Series. He won't even get you out of the ALDS. You did say you wanted to get out of the first round?) SM

• SAVE PHIL HUGHES. HE'S A YANKEE. FORGET BIG STARS LOOKING TO CASH IN ON THE WALLETS OF THE YANKEE FAN.

Dear Santana:

• Don't come here. You'll be very unhappy. Your life will be a living hell and you'll pray to be anywhere else. SM.
