2010-11 were the only two season where Santana had any consistency in his performance. While the fact that he’s been healthy counts for something, Couple that with the draft pick and how close it is to Opening Day, the chances at him getting 50 million are looking a lot less likely.

He’ll sign after the draft Because Royals. That’s how things work for them; whatever is the worst possible outcome is the likeliest.

I would never let anyone named Bean Stringfellow represent me in any capacity.

Santana is better than a lot of people give him credit for. He’s had three seasons of 200+IP and sub-4 ERAs out of the last four. His 2012 was terrible but he’s shown middle-of-the-rotation stuff for most of his career.
People made fun of Lohse when the same thing was going on with him last year yet he still got a decent deal with the Brewers and so far it’s worked out really well for both sides. If I were a NL team in a flyball-friendly park looking for a little pitching (Padres, Pirates), I would look hard at Santana. He’s better than people around here are giving him credit for.

Defense first for Drew? He had the 4th highest wOBA among all SS with 500 PA or more. He also played plus defense, but that’s not his only skill.

I don’t mean to demean him or his offensive abilities. Over his career, he’s been about an average hitter playing a good shortstop.
Being capable of adding value at a premium defensive position while hitting at a league-average rate … I guess that’s what I think “defense-first” means. I didn’t say “defense-only” or “offensively limited” (as I used to describe Morales’s D), just ordered his contributions in a shorthand manner.

can you show the results of the survey?

See the link just above the survey itself (or the ‘thank you’ image that appears after you’ve completed it).

I think ervin santana will sign a 30 million deal before opening day but the rangers will not sign him
