Johan Santana finally faced live batters, throwing 36 pitches. Twenty-two of the 36 went for strikes and his changeup was "especially sharp" according to David Lennon.
Adam Rubin relays this quote:
"I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be ready for it," Santana said about Opening Day.
Sounds good, but the Mets shouldn't let Santana call the shots. First of all, he should be tested for whatever may be ailing him, not matter what. Good to see and hear, though.
But it wasn't all good news for the Mets. Mike Pelfrey has been shut down indefinitely due to a muscle strain in his leg.
Hopefully it's nothing and he can bounce back soon enough.
