Mets fans can all breathe a sigh of relief this afternoon. Johan Santana is out for the season having surgery on his left elbow, but it is not Tommy John Surgery. Johan will have minor surgery to clean up chips in his elbow and should be more than ready for the start of the 2010 season.
I'm not really sure why they didn't look into this when Johan was complaining about it in April. He hasn't been the same pitcher he was last year for most of the season and this is a good reason why. Whoever is running the team next year needs to monitor the issue and make sure we protect what is our most valuable asset.
