Santana not going to make Opening Day start

David Lennon breaks the news that Johan Santana will not be the Opening Day starter for the New York Mets.
Pitching coach Dan Warthen just explained that Santana is not likely to get into a Grapefruit League game until March 18 and that pretty much wipes out any chance of him being ready for Opening Day.
Is this a shrewd move by the Mets to have him start the first game at Citi Field? I doubt it, but it's something to think about.

As long as he's healthy to make 30+ starts in 2009, I don't care when he pitches. Still, not a good sign.
