If the Mets are going to surprise the NL East this year, then Johan Santana probably must lead them. As you know, Santana hasn't pitched in more than a year because of his shoulder surgery so to expect him to comeback and pick right where he left off -- a sub-three ERA -- seems a tad unrealistic.
Santana is a superior competitor, though, so he shouldn't be underestimated. He strikes me as a guy that even if he never regains his top notch stuff will still be successful. He may not be an All-Star, but he likely still could be a 13-15 win guy with an ERA a tad below four.
So here you go, your question of the day:
What do you think Johan Santana can produce in 2012?
