Johan Santana (shoulder) threw a simulated game Monday. Orioles manager Buck Showalter was impressed with what he saw and said that Santana showed good velocity. Reports on his velocity weren't promising back in February, but he was still in the early stages of building his arm strength after his second major shoulder surgery. The veteran southpaw is a bit of a lottery ticket at this point, but the O's are hopeful they'll get something out of him this summer.
