Expectations: Wins when Santana Pitches
By Matthew Cerrone - Mar 28, 2008 1:09 pm

Last season, the Twins were 17-16 on days that Johan Santana pitched.

Meanwhile, the Mets were 18–16 on days that Tom Glavine pitched.

Should the Mets bring Delgado back on a one-year, incentive-laden deal?

    Looking at the thing, I thought it said, “How many wins do you think Johan Santana will have for the Mets this year?” I think he’ll have 22 wins, and unfortunately, I didn’t read the question. So, I put “Between 19 and 22.” :o I meant to put “Between 25 and 29.” *smacks forehead*

    I’m suspecting it’ll be right around 25, but what do I know?

    Some Mets fans need to put down the crack pipe. 25 plus wins doesn’t happen very often. In fact I can’t remember anyone doing that in my life time.

      The question isn’t “how many games will Santana win”, it’s “Santana’s wins + no-decisions in which the Mets win”. 25 isn’t unreasonable.

      That 17-16 figure really shows just how bad an offense the Twins had last year!

        Ahhhh……Perhaps it is I who should put down the crack pipe, and maybe I would be able to read more clearly.

    If you look at Santana’s game logs from last year, he only gave up more than 4 runs like 4 or 5 times.

    Of his 13 losses, 9 of them were 1-0, 2-1 losses.

    The Mets average over 5 runs a game last year.

    If the averages hold up (they never do, but hypothetically) Santana could conceivably go 30-5 if he makes 35 starts…

    theoretically….
