Johan Santana

This was just posted on Yahoo:

MINNESOTA: RHP Rick Reed (back) will come off the DL on Tuesday and is expected to start Wednesday against AL Central foe Kansas City. LHP Johan Santana will head back to the bullpen when Reed returns and give the bullpen more flexibility

Has anyone heard about this? Is this official or is this just Yahoo speculation? I had heard rumblings that Santana would keep a roster spot even after Reed comes back (if he doesn't, I may as well dump him).

It's official...for now. I have heard that a rotation spot could be his in July or so, if Radke continues to struggle. But for now, yes he will be in the pen. And I will probably drop him as well when Contreras comes off DL (assuming he has a spot).

Damn I hope not! My pitching staff is hurting bad! Have Contreras, Schilling and Beckett all on the DL and I was counting on Santana holding that starting spot this time around. My luck Kim will go too the pen also very shortly when Pedro get's fully ready!

And damnit Colon...2 outs from a CG and a win for me and then you get stomped on and trash my ERA! Pitchers are the most unreliable of all Fantasy positions!
