Justin Morneau (concussion) told Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune via e-mail that he began swinging a bat early last week.
Very good news. There was some concern about Morneau's status after he missed TwinsFest in late-January, but he told Christensen that he has been working out without limitations for the past five weeks. "I am starting to feel more confident during my workouts, as I am not going through a mental checklist of how a certain exercise feels while I am doing it, every time I try something," said Morneau. "I am happy with the progress recently, and it has been a long winter for me, but I am excited to hopefully be back on the field with my teammates soon." We're optimistic, but it would be wise to wait until he starts playing in games to make any judgment.
