With the information about Santana’s knee surgery, that makes his month of September all the more impressive. It has been reported by Johan’s agent that Santana hurt the knee early in the month and refused to let the team know about the severity of the pain. With all that going on, he was voted the pitcher of the month in case you didn’t know. He was 4-0 with a 1.83 ERA in September.
Johan also had the best ERA in MLB [2.53] , pitched the most innings in the NL with a career high 234 1/3 , tied for most starts [34], and was third with 3 complete games, and pitched 2 shutouts. With a little more support earlier in the season, Johan’s 16-7 record could have easily been 22-7. Not too bad for a pitcher that Cashman didn’t want. How many wins did Hughes and Kennedy have? If the Yankees had traded for Johan, they’d be playing October baseball. I personally am glad that Cashman is so inept at judging pitching talent. Just think were the Mets would be without Johan in the rotation.
