Mets SP Johan Santana has a tear of the anterior capsule in his left shoulder and is to undergo season-ending surgery soon. This is the third straight year the high-priced Mets' ace will spend the offseason recovering from an operation. The Mets said they anticipated Santana would be OK to resume throwing next spring. But left-hander said doctors told him it was "not a common injury" to his pitching shoulder.Santana said the most important thing was for him to get healthy. "Whether it's April, May, July, October," Santana said Friday. "Who knows? Time will tell." Santana didn't realize the magnitude of the injury and said it his injury was similar to one that Yankees catcher Jorge Posada was able to recover from. Santana said he was waiting for a second opinion from noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews. Santana said he'd prefer to have the surgery soon so he could begin his rehabilitation. He should be able to begin playing catch in January. Dillon Gee, who pitched well this week in his major league debut, will take Santana's spot Monday night against Pittsburgh.
