A healthy Hudson presents choices

Tim Hudson will have to wait a few more months before regaining all of the arm strength that he possessed before undergoing Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery last year. But based on what he’s already shown during his first three starts back from a grueling rehab process, the 34-year-old right-hander has seemingly already provided himself a good chance to remain with the Braves beyond this season

“[Hudson] has thrown really well during these first couple starts back,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said. “We know his makeup. We know his work ethic. We know his competitiveness. We’d like to have him pitching in Atlanta for a long time.”

In order to gain the financial flexibility needed to keep Hudson, the Braves may need to trade either Kenshin Kawakami or Javier Vazquez, whose $11.5 million cost for the 2010 season would be deemed a bargain if he’s able to repeat the success he’s enjoyed this year.

Hudson earns key win for Braves in return

As he endured the grueling rehab process that followed Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, there were times when Tim Hudson wondered if he’d possess his successful form once this day finally arrived.

Those bouts waged against anxiety and impatience proved to be distant memories by the time Hudson exited the mound at Land Shark Stadium on Tuesday night. His long wait proved fruitful courtesy of the impressive return he constructed while leading the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Marlins.

“I’m just happy for the opportunity to go out there and see my teammates behind me and see how happy they were for me to get back out there and compete,” Hudson said. “It’s been a while. It’s been a long, tough road. But it was very rewarding to go out there and give us a chance to win.”

Hudson to start for Braves on Monday

As Tim Hudson was traveling to the Atlanta airport on Thursday afternoon, he was anticipating making his final Minor League rehab start in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday night. But with one phone call, the Braves gave him clearance to abort that mission and prepare to fill Kenshin Kawakami’s spot in the starting rotation.

Hudson will return to the Major League scene on Monday night to face the Marlins. Ironically, his return will place him on the same Land Shark Stadium mound that he exited on July 23, 2008, without the knowledge that he was about a week away from Tommy John elbow ligament transplant surgery and 13 months away from delivering his next Major League pitch.
