Does this mean that Jose Morales' injury may be more serious than originally believed or that the Twins want Redmond to move into a coaching position after next season?

Well, when it happened back in Sept '07 they stated it was "major ligament damage" and that he was going to be out for "a long time." Then in January he had a noticeable limp, and wasn't able to put much pressure or strain on his ankle. Hard to say what's going to become of him. Also an interesting note, the Twins had C Ryan Jorgensen on the 40-man roster.
