This is not a good spring to be named Johan Santana, Ervin Santana's real name is Johan but in 2003 he changed it to Ervin so he wouldn't be confused with the other Johan Santana. Personally, if I were to change my name I would pick something much more intimidating the Ervin.
Ervin Santana injured his elbow while pitching in an intra-squad game on Tuesday and is expected to miss the beginning of the season. You can find the link to the OC Register here about Santana and Scioscia's comments.

Tommy Hanson pitched today against the Phillies going 4 innings giving up 1 ER on 4 hits while striking out 7. In the same game Phillies top pitching prospect, Carlos Carrasco, didn't fare that well going 2 inning giving up 3 ER on 6 hits and had 0 strike outs. This performance pushed his Spring ERA to 7.71 and given the recent performance of J.A. Happ and Park, it looks like Carlos is going to start the season in Allentown.
ARod is going to have "hybrid" surgery and will be out 6-9 weeks
