Johan Santana threw for 7 teams on Monday and his fastball topped out at 81 mph, with most pitches in the 77-79 mph range. You could probably find better arms at your local carnival. Perhaps he has something deep down left in the tank, but why have a showcase if you're not even close to ready?

Two words: Jamie Moyer. I believe Johan Santana can and will make a team and pitch until he's 45.
I also believe that Madonna has Elvis' body stashed away and brings him back to life to ask him questions about what it was like to be a real star.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?Comment

My summer team is looking to add another pitcher. Does anyone know Johan's number? We can offer him a place to stay and alcohol.Comment

Dating myself here, I remember owning a young Johan Santana in an AL-only back when the Twins delayed putting him in the starting rotation. Heck of a pitcher he was.Comment

The worst part was when the scout's wife, who was waiting in the passenger seat, didn't even flinch. I thought that was pretty cold. ;0Originally posted by Moonlight J View PostI'm just here for the baseball.

After all this in his comeback, having just been added to the Orioles roster (on the DL), he tears his achilles tendon and is lost for the season.Comment

I don't own him (i gambled $1 on him last year) but wow! The poor guy is falling apart.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
