poor johan....always liked him

 

[HammerDown]

He's anything but poor. How much of that money would the Mets like to have back?

 

[bone3421]

not what i meant

all of it would be my guess.....he did get them off the no no-no list though

 

[TexasMan]

That sucks.

Well he got us the no hitter and was awesome for us the first 2 years or so he was here. That's what he was brought in for, that championship caliber team/run, he held up his end, the team did not. Liked him even before he came to the Mets. No denying he was probably the best pitcher in baseball for a bout 3 or 4 years.

He was great when he was with the Twins. One of my favorite pitchers.

 

[HammerDown]

Sat down the 1st base line and was about 30' from him throwing long-toss before an outting at Petco and me and my son were blown away by how far he could throw so effortlessly without the ball dropping, though I'm sure that goes with most MLB pitchers.

Next question is whether Santana is a HOFer.

Olney discusses it.

 

[Big Joe]

Johan makes the ballot and that's it.

No way is he a hall of famer.

Yeah, he was great for a small stretch of time, but doesn't have anywhere close to the longevity of HOF.......

'Nuff said. I (and I think most fans) agree.

 

[powerchord86]

He should have been if not for the injuries. Too bad but it is what it is.

 

[HammerDown]

He should juice like hell, get caught, contritely apologize like Pettite and come back next year better than ever.
