I’ll give credit that Johan Santana is good. He has been the most dominant lefty in the AL for a few years now. His addition to the Mets has made them extremely cocky. They seem to think that now they are shoe-ins to win the NL East. According to Bob Klapisch’s article on ESPN.com, Carlos Beltran wants to make sure Jimmy Rollins knows that the Mets are the team to beat in the East. Somehow they think that adding one pitcher will make them much better from last year. Yes, he will add some wins on his own, but if they still have the same colapse at the end of the season they had last year, a man who plays once every 5 games will not save the team everygame.
The Phillies are the defending NL East champs, and have made the right moves to repeat, no matter who the Mets have pitching.
