Santana
I have been holding off to see what happens, but I figured I should comment. Johan Santana is a great pitcher. Will he continue to pitch great under the Mets, I would certainly hope so.
The big debate seems to be time. Do we want to be held down to a long term contract? Is there much difference between 5 and 6 years. I think he is 28, so we are looking at holding him until he is 34 or 35. Still not a bad age. As I ponder, I think he may very well be worth it. I am looking forward to them closing the deal. this could really give as a very strong rotation. Pitching is what I have said we have needed and this would be just the thing.
