The same doctor who did the surgery told Baker the UCL was fine based on the MRI. He only saw the damage when he opened it up.

I hope this will shut up the people who were calling Baker a whiner for not just playing through pain–they were really saying that on Twins boards when it was supposedly just to remove scar tissue–but it won’t.

I thought Ryan said they were going to be better at the whole “transparency with injury” thing? Hopefully it was something they found when opened him up. Next up: Perkins!
