Thoughts on either being a trade target?
They are both very similar players with similar contracts. Like you said both have options for next season that will likely not be picked up. Probably the case for both since combined it would cost the Angels 28 million for one year of service from both guys combined. I would imagine the Angels might be interested in one of our pitching prospects that they could have for a low price given they have huge contracts with Wilson and Weaver.

Personally if I had the choice I would choose Haren because his best years are much better than Santana's best years and he has also been consistent both in games started and a sub 4 ERA. Also, if the Angels decide to pick up one of the options, it would likely be on Santana who has a cheaper deal, and is few years younger. But what would they want for him?
