ESPN is reporting that the Mets are concerned with Johan Santana's sore elbow. He was scratched today from his start, and it is raising some eyebrows about the health of the Mets' ace. If Johan was to go down the Mets would have to count on Oliver Perez as their ace. Not a good thing, since the rest of their staff is a bunch of question marks.
The Mets are a really weird team. I really like their offense, and I think their bullpen (if healthy) could actually be a strength this year. Yet, we all know you don't go anywhere without a strong starting staff, and if Johan goes down, so will any hope of the Mets taking back the division crown. We'll update you on his status as more information becomes available.
