RHP Ervin Santana feeling like rookie with Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Ervin Santana feels like a rookie again, getting a fresh start with the Kansas City Royals.

Good thing, too.

Just about all his new teammates aren't much older than rookies, anyway.

The 29-year-old right-hander took a physical with his new team, and toured Kauffman Stadium on a brisk Monday afternoon, after a trade earlier this month sent him from the Los Angeles Angels to the Royals for a minor league pitcher and some cash to help cover his contract.

"It's like I'm a rookie now,'' Santana said between meetings. "It's a new team.''
