Santana doesn't get paid to pitch well in spring training, and that's that's f'in bottom line. If you are worried about this, you probably are psychotic and need to go on some medication or else you really have no inclination into anything to do with baseball, or just just a plain old idiot. SANTANA GETS PAID TO WIN DURING THE SEASON, SRING TRAINING IS WORTH LESS THEN THE FECAL MATTER THAT EXITS MY REAR END EVERY MORNING. are you freaking kidding me?

Pitch better than what? Like he would be pitching in June? August? September? It's FEBRUARY 29TH!!!!! You can't expect that level of performance in his first spring training start, not after having not pitched in 5 months. In fact, I doubt Santana did had that level of expectation for himself. Annie, you say "This guy is supposed to be an award winning veteran – he should be able to pitch better than this."

In that case they need to reestablish themselves. Remember when everyone was worried Alou was washed up last season? Well, he wasn't. Didn't mean he would stay healthy, but the guy can still rake. ST, for vets, is just about getting your work in, playing with some new pitches, etc. It's not about wins and losses, or even performance.

This guy is supposed to be an award winning veteran - he should be able to pitch better than this. I'm not on the ledge - but maybe he should be. Want to bet that Pedro has a better start?

Your expectations for this start are ridiculous. Santana didn't 'need' to do anything other than get on the mound, face real opposition, and get in his 45-50 pitches. These starts are about increasing arm strength and stamina, working on the the quality of his pitches, and refining location. It's not about striking batters out; it's about getting in-shape for a season that is 4 weeks and 3 days away. Annie – come off the ledge. Your expectations for this start are ridiculous.

For a pitcher who had a lot to say during the negotiations, this was a lousy start with his new team. Sloppy – C'mon, he didn't need to pitch perfectly, he just needed to keep runners off the bases.

So you are gonna see even more known talent on the Mets sprinkled in w/a few yound guys. That's the way it is.

Obviously now we need to throw in a bunch of pitchers to try and clean up after him. I guess it's too early for me to say that I didn't want Santana – and his big contract – here in the first place.
