Why Johan Should Be President

From the :

The Twins have been impressed by how Santana has scoffed at the Cy Young talk. Twins pitcher Terry Mulholland, a veteran of 18 big-league seasons and 10 teams, believes that Santana isn't affected by his billing as a rising star.

"He doesn't take himself too seriously," Mulholland said. "And I can say for a few guys who have won the award, they had no time to be bothered by anybody. He's having fun. He has a great saying every day: 'happy birthday.' He tells everybody happy birthday" when he walks into the clubhouse each day.

"If you think about it," Mulholland said, "when you wish somebody happy birthday, it makes them feel good — even if it's not their birthday."
