Getting to be Pedro's teammate.  If I were a free agent pitcher, my
first choice would be to go to Pedro's team.  He's such a cool guy,

of like Seaver and Clemens on the 1986 Red Sox!

Not sure that there's too much that Santana knows about pitching.

Also, not sure Pedro is such a great teammate of another ace pitcher.

Schilling says otherwise,although I guess you might claim Schilling
was not an ace when Pedro was with the RS.

I assume you mean that there is not a lot Santana has to learn about
pitching. If so, he's in a class of his own. I doubt he'd make that
claim.

I think Santana and Pedro will get along just fine.
Schilling was always the problem, not Pedro.
Sure, it's wonderful that Santana didn't end up on the Yankees,  but I
don't want to face the Mets in the World Series if those two are
healthy.

Schilling was the problem because he always deferred to Pedro? I don't
agree. It was Pedro who decided to leave, partly, in my opinion,
because he didn't want to share the spotlight with Curt.- Hide quoted text -

I think Schilling AND Pedro are alpha personallities. Beckett seems to
be okay with Schilling but Johnson seemingly wasn;t so I guess we'll
see how Santana does with Pedro. I think it's just a personality thing
where if you have a super alpha dog personality you might not like
either of them.
