Talk About Johan Santana

Here let's talk about the story of Johan Santana:

Johan Santana was signed by the Houston Astros as an amateur free agent in1995.Later in 1999, he was drafted by Florida Marlins in rule 5 draft (to explain it briefly: recycle can. We can talk about this as long as somebody is interested in this.), and at the same date, he was traded to Minnesota Twins for Jared Camp. In 2000, he made it to the Big league, but he didn't have a good year. His real broke through year was 2003, when he went 8 wins and 6 loses with 2.99 ERA and 108.1 innings pitched.Since2003, he has become a good pitcher. He won the CY Young award (For the best pitcher that year.) in 2004 season. In 2006 season, he won the Cy Young award again, this time, beating the New York Yankees' best pitcher, Chien-Ming Wang.
