Aaron Gleeman’s Johan Santana Liberation Watch reads as follows:
Games/Starts: 14/1
ERA: 2.56
Innings: 31.2
Strikeouts: 35
Opponent AVG: .212
Is it rude of me to point out that this omits the inconvenient fact that Santana is walking 4.5 men per 9 innings?
I agree with Aaron’s larger point – heck, I’ve got Santana on both of my rotisserie teams, myself – but he’s not Randy Johnson, not yet at least.
