Santana Will Be Ready For Opening Day, Mini-Camp Attendees

Good news, Mets fans. Johan Santana will be ready for opening day, well, that's what he says. In an article for the NY Daily News, Adam Rubin quotes Santana as being "way ahead of where I was last year at this point." Interesting, considering last year he wasn't coming off offseason surgery. Hey, if Johan say's he's feeling great, then that is good enough for me.

Also in the article Rubin lists some mini-camp attendees including Oliver Perez, Bobby Parnell, Daniel Murphy and Eddie Kunz. Another interesting name on the list is Chris Carter, who the Mets eventually, no thanks to the Yankees, recieved from the Red Sox in the Wagner deal last season. I like Carter as that potential back up first base option, although he's not a great fielder, the guy can hit.

Interesting stuff...
