Baseball Crank has a great chart comparing Johan Santana against other mid-career pitching acquisitions the Mets have made. The comparison is through their first seven starts.
Santana looks pretty good but doesn’t compare to some like Al Leiter who was lights out in his seven starts in 1998. 
Thanks to The Hardball Times for the link.

About the author: Although I don’t have a degree in journalism, I love writing about the New York Mets. I’m the typical writer without access. My only accessibility to the Mets is sitting in the stands (often the upper tank) and watching on TV like most fans. I’m not a member of the media, just a fan expressing opinions.Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/dave_doyle
