Johan Santana has been getting killed lately. Killed so bad that people have been talking about just shutting him down for the season. While the Mets first instinct was to put him on a pitch count, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports that they have decided to simply shut him down instead.
Santana has a lower back inflammation and will be placed on the DL. No surgery is necessary. ?Rubin reports that the Mets are taking this well, with Sandy Alderson saying?that he?s confident Santana will be back next season and that Santana ?accomplished quite a lot? given that it was his first season back following serious shoulder surgery.
And he did. Certainly the no-hitter, and at times early in the season he was effective. But whether it was a stamina issue or whether ongoing issues with his shoulder caused him to rely too much on his back or some other thing in that vein, he just wasn?t the old Johan for much of the year. A year in which Santana went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA and 111 strikeouts and 39 walks in 117 innings. ?With that no hitter and another shutout he still leads the league in shutouts.
See you next year, Johan. Here?s hoping this is merely a bump on the long way back from major surgery.
