If he had any say, Santana didn't want to play second fiddle to Beckett.


I've always thought that a pitcher not wanting to share the spotlight with
another ace was utterly stupid. If you want to have the best team possible,
wouldn't you WANT to have other ace calibre pitchers in the rotation
with you?

It just seems to me that this prima donna attitude that there's only room
enough for one ace in a rotation is truly idiotic since no starter can pitch
every game.
