They fell out of the Jon Lester Derby yesterday, but they can still put their money down in the Ervin Santana Stakes:

Santana was linked with the Twins earlier today. And, as Aaron noted then, he would cost the Giants -- or almost any other team -- a first round draft pick to sign by virtue of his rejection of a qualifying offer from the Braves.
He posted 3.95 ERA and 179/63 K/BB ratio in 196 innings last season.
