Santana's Town



New York is Santana's Town... and most importantly he does all of the talking with his arm.

This year thus far these are his stats:
4-1, 0.91 ERA, 54 Ks

The guy should seriously be 5-0... but Daniel Murphy had to drop a deep fly ball in left field against the Florida Marlins earlier this season.

Let's look at some more remarkable stats:

-Johan has one loss in his last 23 starts... talk about being consistent.

-He has allowed no more than two runs in his last 12 starts.

I'd have to say that he's definitely worth the $137.5 million the NY Mets paid to Johan to come and play in Queens.

It's scary to know that Johan is usually a slow starter at the beginning of the season, but if he's this good this early then the rest of the NL better watch out.

Don't mess with the Johan!
