A mess with the Johan

Big news out of New York yesterday.

We heard that Johan Santana is done for the season. New Yorkers can only laugh at this point, but it certainly had a much bigger effect on the fantasy world.

And especially Ken. This is huge for one of the top teams in the league. How does this impact the rest of the season?


I got in touch with Ken today to see how he was taking the news. Surprisingly, he was still in good spirits.

"It's been my offense that's carrying me anyway," he said.

Maybe so, but this will undoubtedly leave a big hole. Even this week, in a huge matchup against Bob where Santana was scheduled to start twice.

"Clifford Lee," Ken said. "Two starts this week..huge."

Bob was pleased to hear of the news, as was Andy - a potential first-round playoff opponent.

"That actually is huge," Bob said of Santana missing this week.

But, there's one other factor in all this. Does Santana stay healthy in the offseason? We won't know by the time we declare keepers. So does Ken roll the dice?

"He'll be good for next year," a confident Ken said. "Minor surgery."

When told he was lowered from a 7:1 to an 11:1 favorite in Vegas to win it all, Ken said: "I was only 7:1? HA my team is the best."

Strong words from one of the league's top teams. Let's see whether Santana breaks him though.
