Hudson update ... and Ned/Joe arrive back in camp

The O-Dog had some soreness in his surgically repaired left wrist, so he was scratched as a precaution -- kicking and screaming, apparently. That's a good sign, because it clearly wasn't serious. As Torre tells is, Hudson felt it when he got here this morning, then went through the morning workouts before he told the medical staff. Sounds like there is a good chance he'll play tomorrow -- or the next time Furcal plays, whenever that is. ... There was a big media scrum with Colletti and Torre when they got back, but we really didn't find out a lot that we didn't already know. Ned said he couldn't even remember how the negotiations got started again, who initiated it or whatever. Still wouldn't confirm that there is a deal in place, or that a physical exam is taking place. Torre said it will probably be a few days before you see Manny in a Cactus League game. Colletti was asked to talk about the purpose of the meeting, which we all know was about figuring out which Manny the Dodgers are actually getting. Here is what he said;

``I think it was for everybody. We are really trying to build a team here that really sticks together and fights together. I think it was imperative that we all sit down and talk. (Ramirez) is obviously a very important member of the group and member of the team.''
