Johan Santana talked with reporters yesterday, and said, despite what some critics might be saying, he is confident in what the Mets can accomplish this season, saying:
“There’s a lot of comments on this team not being ready to go, or not being a contender… Whatever attacks they put on us is fine. At the same time, we won’t be surprised if we win. If we do the things right, if we stay healthy, it may surprise a lot of people out there, but not us, because we have the confidence that we can do it… We have the right pieces to do it.

That’s what we want to do… Whatever they want to say, that’s fine for us. We’re just going to play and have fun at the same time. That’s what baseball is all about.”
