  game marks the return of Ervin Santana from purgatory (also known as the minor leagues). I'm not sure why the Angels would want to bring Santana back in this game, after all, he's terrible on the road. In three starts against the Red Sox, Santana is 1-2 with a 7.47 ERA.

  tantalizes by telling us Ervin Santana and even Jeremy Bonderman are in the D'Backs' sights.  Santana is known to be available for a bat.  Bonderman would be attractive to many teams if not for his late-season elbow woes.  He's signed through 2010.

  my Mets guy says Ervin Santana, Chris Capuano, Claudio Vargas, and Noah Lowry are being considered.
