Ricky Nolasco outdueled Johan Santana on Thursday night, giving up one run off three hits and one walk while striking out four in four innings of work.
Our View: Nolasco emerged as a fantasy stud last season, and while he was roughed up in his first spring start, he's given up just one run and six combined hit and walks in eight innings since. If his past two outings provide any indication, Nolasco could be in line to build off his excellent 2008 season and threaten to gain status as one of the elite pitchers in the game.

Johan Santana pitched his first in-game outing of the spring against Florida on Thursday, allowing three runs off four hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.
Our View: Don't worry much about the poor numbers, as we all know what Santana is capable of when healthy, so the good news is that he was finally able to take the mound and left without any setbacks to his elbow. There's still hope that he'll be able to lead the Mets as their starter in the season opener, though his availability for April 6 remains to be seen.

Johan Santana is not expected to be ready to start Opening Day for the Mets due to tightness in his left elbow and will instead likely have his first start pushed back to New York's fifth contest of the season on April 11 against Florida, according to Newsday.com.Santana will pitch a bullpen session on Wednesday but is unlikely to get any in-game action in spring until March 18, which would not give him enough time to be prepared for Opening Day. Santana's bothersome elbow is certainly not something to ignore on draft day, and it may bump him behind Tim Lincecum and CC Sabathia in the rankings, two guys he was typically on par with before the injury concerns, though it should also be noted that Santana has never missed an extended amount of time due to injury in his seven years as a starter.

The clubhouse wall has him slated for side sessions on Wednesday and Saturday, and possible live batting practice March 10.If Santana needs more than one live batting practice session, the elite hurler won't get in a Grapefruit game by March 13.

News: Mets SP Johan Santana canceled his visit to New York to see team doctors. He felt so good after Sunday's bullpen session he didn't want to go. Snowy weather was a factor, too, but not the primary issue. "He had his normal delivery and long stride, probably working at 80-85 percent," said pitching coach Dan Warthen, who stood in the batter's box during part of Santana's session. "I thought he was right where he should be." [...]

Because the weather would have made travel problematic and because
Because the weather would have made travel problematic and because the pitcher's read of his own body was positive, the club canceled its flight arrangements and the examination. Mets general manager Omar Minaya had characterized the examination as something the club had scheduled for the reason of peace of mind. Though the tightness was not considered serious, the delay it caused in Santana's conditioning has made it less likely he will be the Mets' Opening day starter April 6.

News: Mets ace Johan Santana will return to New York to have an MRI on his elbow on Monday, an off-day for the team during spring training. "This is more precautionary than anything else," GM Omar Minaya said before the left-hander threw a light bullpen session Sunday morning. "He will be looked at by our doctors. With the off-day, it just makes sense to go up there and look at it." Santana, who has battled tightness in his elbow, long-tossed with new closer Francisco Rodriguez before heading to the bullpen for a 15-minute session with catcher Omir Santos. The 29-year-old threw 31 pitches. "I feel fine," Santana said afterward. "This is the first time in the last four days that I've thrown, but I feel fine and don't think there should be any problems. I just tried to throw some fastballs and changeups to see how my arm feels. Everything was fine. The more pitches I threw, the better I felt." [...]

Status: D.L.. Out for the season
A Mets source close to Omar Minaya told Jon Heyman of SI.com that the reason Minaya still has his job is strictly because of the three-year extension the GM signed in October 2008. Minaya is certainly on very thin ice, and Heyman believes manager Jerry Manuel is in a better position to last longer in the organization. The Mets are willing to spend in free agency, so Minaya will have the chance to build a contending team. If New York falls flat on their face again, you can bet Omar will be on the way out.
