Around the Horn: Mets welcome Johan Santana to Shea Stadium

Move over Doug Heffernan, Johan Santana is the new King of Queens. It's official. 2-time AL Cy Young Award winning hurler Johan Santana threw on the pinstripes of the New York Metropolitans today at Shea. Santana was all smiles as he was introduced. Of course he was. He just signed a $136.5 million 6-year deal to play with the Mets! No more small town, small wallet BS. He's hit the big stage. But hold your horses, though. Big questions still remain. What about Pedro Martinez? Will his arm fall off come opening day? Will he refuse to wait for another table? (Yes) What else do the Mets need to do to make sure they don't fall apart at the seams like last September? Will Santana continue to give up long bombs like it's his job? Will Twins fans miss him?
