Mets left-hander Johan Santana threw a 45-pitch bullpen session at Sun Life Stadium before Sunday's game against the Marlins. Afterward, he declared himself ready to pitch in a minor league rehab game if he awakes on Monday feeling similarly good. However, New York general manager Sandy Alderson indicated late Sunday that Santana is more likely to repeat a simulated game before advancing to a minor league outing. "I think we actually started spring training a week ago, a week and a half ago, when we moved the bullpens closer together," said Mets rehab coordinator Randy Niemann. "We started batting practice. That's what you would do in spring training. He's gotten to the point where, if he recovers, and he's feeling good, we can start getting into games, like you would in spring training." Santana underwent Sept. 14 surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder.
