Johan Santana and his success with the Mets

A press conference was held with Johan Santana on Wednesday Feb. 6th. Santana was embraced by both Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya, watching the press conference kind of reminded me of when the Yankees re-signed Roger Clemens last year. All the hype that came with the re-signing of Clemens, also came with the signing of Santana to the Mets. Many people were concerned with whether or not Santana would be able to adjust to New York. If Clemens and Carlos Beltran could do it than why cant he? His presence at the front of the rotation takes pressure off young starters such as John Maine. Santana also eases the burden on the bullpen that was so stressed last year. “Being a Braves fan I really could care less how Santana does with the Mets. Frankly, I hope the Mets end up exactly like they did last season even with Santana.”
