Considering he's not even throwing 80.  He would have been better off taking the season off, and visiting Colon's doctor.

[fan_since79]

NBC is reporting he may throw out of the bullpen when he's ready to pitch.

 

Situational slow-pitch reliever??

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe they thought they were signing the other Santana?

[tdawg87]

They will probably sign him as well. Might as well..

It would create an interesting Eastern Race!

Santana is Asian?

[Angel Oracle]

Don't give Adam any ideas. 

[mrwicked]

does he go to HOF?

he was a monster for a few years.

less than 80, is that true? is it just soft toss or can he literally not get it up to 80 anymore?

Nah.

 

Good signing, though.

There was a report that he was struggling to touch 80 in a workout for interested teams, so that might just be all he has left in his arm

Good signing? LOL. ok

[Hollyw00d]

he's a hall of famer IMO.  dude dominated the AL for a good 5 year stretch

[Brent Maguire]

Not even throwing 80?

 

That's really sad. He had an incredible peak for a while. He won't make the HOF but he'll get plenty of votes probably.

Carlos? Oye Como Va.

Every team could use a situational slow-pitch lefty out of the bullpen.

 

Call on him in a tight spot to befuddle one or two hitters. Location is everything.

It's a minor league deal in hope he'll be ready in 3 months and it's only for one year

 

If he's not, who cares.

 

He could help in the bullpen.

wow. that means his shoulder is trash.
