Johan Santana is looking forward to a normal season with the Mets.

"I'm expecting everything to be normal," he said. "There's no question about it."

Santana threw the team's first-ever no-hitter on June 1, 2012. At that moment, he was 3-2 with a 2.38 ERA and more than three times as many strikeouts as walks.

But he also threw a career-high 134 pitches that evening, which may or may not have contributed to what happened next -- multiple injuries and an 8.27 ERA through the end of the season, including a 15.63 mark over his final five starts.
