Checking in with Johan Santana

I hadn't checked up on Santana in a while, so when I heard about this , I figured I would take a peek at Santana's numbers. Though I don't think that ERA accurately reflects how well a pitcher has pitched, it has been Santana's early-season ERA that spawned the belief that Santana is a slow starter.

I, like many, thought Phil Hughes’ “oblique strain” was code for “needs to go work out his suckage in the minors.” But now they’re saying it’s a stress fracture in one of his ribs . Hughes says he has “no idea” how he got it. But how do you fracture a rib and not realize it?
