JOHAN SANTANA RUMORS
Johan To Pitch From A Mound By Friday
Some encouraging news from Johan Santana who long-tossed from up to about 160 feet in front of Terry Collins today and showed no signs of discomfort and even had some zip on his throws.
“I’m not on rehab anymore,” Santana said. “I’m trying to build my arm strength back so that when I get on the mound, I don’t feel anything.”
Dan Martin of the NY Post spoke to Santana...

Would The $70 Million Dollar Mets Be Better?
A few days ago, I laid out the idea that the Mets could potentially continue to lower than payroll over the next few seasons. Such a trend could see the team flirt with a payroll in the $70 million dollar range heading into the 2014 season. Today I'm here to tell you that such a team might actually be better than the group the Mets will trot out this season.The fact of the...

Two Mets I’m Really Curious About In 2012
No doubt there are a myriad of questions and curiosities about the 2012 Mets, but two I am wondering about most are Lucas Duda and Mike Pelfrey.
I’m skipping the obvious choices, David Wright, Johan Santana and Jason Bay. With Wright, either they’ll trade him or they won’t. With Santana, he’s either healthy or he’s not. And Bay? Based on his first two years with the Mets...

Mets Did NOT Win Santana Trade
I read a blog post yesterday, that claimed the Mets won the Johan Santana trade, based on the talent given up, but lost on the contract extension. This couldn’t be any less accurate or more naive.
While it is true the players surrendered didn’t amount to much on the major league level and Santana did have several productive years, one cannot separate the trade from the contract...

Was Santana Already Injured When He Arrived?
Johan Santana is scheduled to make about $25 million dollars each of the next two years. There’s also an option for 2014, which adds another $25 million if he reaches awards incentives and/or innings threshold. The combination of Santana’s health and the Mets reduced payroll make this a very punishing financial commitment.
I think Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTR said it best...

Santana not sure whether ready for opening day
Johan Santana hopes to be back on the mound for the New York Mets when the season starts yet doesn't want to guess whether he'll actually be ready by then.

Johan Santana and the dreaded rotator cuff
There’s no question that when Johan Santana pitches, he is one of the best in baseball. The problem is that “when” part of the statement.
Santana joined the Mets in 2008, and every year he has dealt with injury problems. After the 2008 season we learned that Santana had a torn meniscus, and had thrown several games with the injury. He didn’t miss any playing...

Mets Fans Need To Lower Their Expectations For Johan Santana
I've been hearing it since the close of last season. What should we expect from the 2012 Mets? Well, we have Johan Santana coming back, don't we? Yes, the man once revered by most major league teams will with any luck be returning to the Mets' rotation this spring, but that doesn't mean we'll be seeing the Johan of old. Mets fans need to grasp on to this idea...
