Santana Unanimous Choice for AL Cy Young
It comes as completely unsurprising news that Johan Santana walked away with the 2004 AL Cy Young Award, as announced yesterday. I really like the shot of Santana and his changeup grip in the photo accompanying the SI article. Fitting, in that it's Santana's change that really sets him apart from most pitchers.
I went ahead and put together a Santana retrospective based on all the times I've written about him in this blog, with some brief comments:
Aug. 2, 2003 - Santana, the second coming of Steve Carlton?
Sept. 2, 2003 - Lock him up now, Twinkies.
