It's clear from the playoffs that the Yankees need an established #1 pitcher. Johan Santana of the Twins is expected to be made available. Unfortunately, the Twins are reported to want Cano.

Now, if it's Melky and even a couple of pitchers, you'd have to consider it. (Sign Rowand or Hunter and go on about it.) But Cano may already be the best 2B in baseball. If not, he's close. And he's an important force in the Yankee lineup. He could hit as high as 5th.

Would you be willing to deal a player of Robinson Cano's stature to get a pitcher of the quality of Santana? Then who would play 2B? Betemit?
