"The main attraction this morning was Johan Santana, who threw a 45-pitch bullpen session before a crowd which featured manager Terry Collins, pitching coach Dan Warthen, bullpen coach Jon DeBus, trainer Ray Ramirez, physical therapist John Zajac, rehab coordinator Randy Niemann, minor-league strength and conditioning coordinator Brian Chicklo, plus a trio of teammates: Jason Isringhausen, Tim Byrdak and Bobby Parnell.

Yes, Santana drew a crowd. He threw 45 pitches and felt strong. No radar gun tracked his velocity, but the sound of his deliveries did echo through Sun Life Stadium - for whatever that's worth. If he feels fine on Monday, he expects to make his first rehab start on Wednesday in Port St. Lucie."
