I WAS WRONG ABOUT JOHAN SANTANA

There's nothing better than wanting to succeed.  There's nothing better than pushing and trying to get back to form and trying and wanting to contribute to a team and then doing it.

It's another to keep trying and falling... not because your heart's not in it, but because you're not physically able.  It's unfortunate, but that's what has happened to Johan Santana.

According to CBSSports.com, Johan Santana had a setback.

"According to the Venezuelan Winter League’s official website, the former two-time Cy Young Award winner’s latest comeback attempt has been derailed by left shoulder discomfort.

An MRI showed no structural damage, but Santana will likely be sidelined a while, hurting his chances to go to spring training with a team."

Look, you gotta give Johan credit for trying.  I appreciate it.  You gotta wonder if he'll try again once he gets passed this setback.  We shall see...

In the meantime... all my talk about trying to get this veteran cheap was wrong advice, at least for now.  I was wrong... and that's OK. Fans don't know everything... we're just fans.
