If the Blue Jays don't sign Ervin Santana to a long-term deal, what are his options? Does anyone else feel the Red Sox should think about signing Ervin Santana to a 1-year pillow-type deal if his options are that limited? Yes, I realize that doing that would be duplicating the pre-Dempster-retiring scenario of 6 major league-caliber starters for 5 spots. Doubront is a legit question mark given his inconsistency as well. He could be the long man/spot starter out of the pen if he doesn't perform well in the spring.
