The Twins former ace, Johann Santana, is supposedly healthy for the first time in several seasons. Coming off a second shoulder capsule surgery from two years ago, and an achilles tendon injury from last year, he is pitching in winter ball preparing for the upcoming season. He'll be 36 when the upcoming season arrives. He is unsigned and his fastball is currently a shell of its former self.
He pitched two perfect innings yesterday throwing 17 pitches.
Some contending team might sign him as fourth starter to add some depth to their pitching rotation, but at that age, rebuilding teams should not even consider him. He's too old and too injury prone.
I don't want him as a Twin any more, but I hope he catches on somewhere. He may have a couple more good seasons to give someone.
