Orioles: Johnson workout
Pitching coach Rick Kranitz reports that Jim Johnson's workout today went well. If his sore shoulder rebounds well after the throwing session, he'll pitch to hitters on Saturday and could pitch in the game against the New York Mets at Port St. Lucie.
"He threw good,''Kranitz said. "He was a little bit rusty, but good. He's going to take a day off, then we'll throw him on the side and run him into batting practice, then we'll see. We're close to getting him in action."
If he doesn't feel good ... well ...
"The worst-case scenario is, we won't have him at the beginning of the season,'' Kranitz said, "but he said he feels good."

I was thinking it was something serious the way the O's brass soft pedals EVERYTHING injury related when a player initially gets hurt. This does sound like a good sign. He's a big part of our bullpen.

I agree! GO GET PEDRO! the team sure could use a veteran pitcher.heck he might win 12 to 15 games,and I imagine he would fill some seats at our mostly empty Camden Yards.seems to me a win/win situation.
