Pitching in Shea stadium, a notorious pitcher's park, with the Mets offense supporting him, how many games can Johan Santana win?The New York Mets, not only got the best pitcher in the majors but gave up almost nothing to get him.
Kudos to Mets GM, Omar Minaya, who may have singlehandedly brought multiple world championships to the Mets with this deal. Now it's up to David Wright, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran et al. to develop their killer instinct and start trouncing people. Last year they played like they were happy to win by one run every game.
The Mets should win the east by 15 games and lap the rest of the NL as well. Anything short of a championship will be a disappointment.
