Ace Throws off Mound

      Perennial ace and two-time Cy Young award winner Johan Santana threw off the mound Friday, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin. It was the first time Santana has thrown off the mound since having surgery September 14th last season to repair a torn anterior capsule on his left shoulder. This is positive news for the few of you that have Santana on your DL but he's still about a month and a half from returning. Santana is a guy who if healthy is a fantasy ace and a top ten Starting Pitcher. I just fear that he is one setback away from being out for the season. Chien-Ming Wang is the recent pitcher of memory who underwent a similar surgery and has been out for two seasons. Monitor Santana's rehab, he could be a steal for the second half of the season.
