Regarding Carlos Santana...

"He tested well with the trainers," said Acta. "They feel that he doesn't have any serious damage on his PCL or ACL. Right now we're calling it a knee contusion. Once the MRI comes out we'll have more.

"But once again, the tests looked good."

This is great news. Significant ligament damage would have made it difficult for him behind the plate in the future. Knees are never the same again after bad ligament tears. I know from personal experience.
