The good news is that Orlando Hudson actually swung from the left side in BP today (something he’s been unable to do so far) and it looks like they are targeting his return for Friday!!! I have to admit that I really miss having him in our infield.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the return of Scott Baker!!! That was certainly a fantastic outting for him – 12 k’s being a career high for Scooter – and was actually one of the best pitching outtings we have had for the Twins so far this season. For that, he was the unanimous BOD selection of the chat gathering.
