Johan Santana will not be helping the Mets anymore this season. Santana's elbow pain is not something new, he's been experiencing issues since the All-Star break. The extent of Santana's injury is unknown, it could effect him all the way into next season -- an perhaps put a halt on a potential HOF career.
Go Twins.
During the '07 off-season when the Twins were debating signing Johan to an extension, I couldn't have been any more for it. I loved Johan, perhaps it's because I love the sweet sounds of the guitar played by Carlos Santana -- but ultimately it's because he was NASTY for the Twins.
I was annoyed with the Twins decision to let him go sign with New York. Much like I have been annoyed with a lot of the decisions the Twins have made over recent free agents (Torii Hunter, plenty of others).
With the most recent injury to Johan, it makes me wonder if what the Twins have going is right... If Minnesota was counting on Johan to help make a push for the Wildcard spot, where would we be now? We'd be screwed.
This injury has made me a believer in the Twins -- "let 'em go" mentality.
