Orlando Hudson is aiming to make a comeback in MLB. |
Hudson didn't play at all this past season, but he's headed to the Mexican Winter League in an effort to generate interest. He hit just .204/.261/.312 in his last taste of the majors in 2012 and will turn 36 next week. He'll almost certainly have to accept a minor league deal. |

Orlando Hudson belted a pinch-hit grand slam, accounting for all of the White Sox offense in Saturday's loss to the Rays. |
Hudson entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Paul Konerko in the eighth inning, and delivered the entirety of the White Sox offense in just one swing. He's been extremely ineffective for the majority of the season, hitting a paltry .198/.258/.312 with three homers and 27 RBI in 247 at-bats. |

Fri Jun 8 2012 | 00:19 | Hudson delivers walkoff winner against Jays |
Orlando Hudson delivered a game-winning RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, leading the White Sox to a come from behind 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Thursday. |
The O-Dog finished the night 2-for-4 with the clutch single off of Francisco Cordero in the ninth inning. Still, he has struggled mightily in his time with the White Sox, hitting just .187 (9-for-24) with five RBI and is in danger of losing playing time to Brent Morel once he returns from the DL. He shouldn't be owned in all but the deepest of AL-only leagues at this point. |

Orlando Hudson will start at third base Wednesday against the Twins. |
Hudson signed a one-year deal with the White Sox on Tuesday and later played two innings at the hot corner. He has never started a game at third base in the big leagues, but he played 242 games there when he was a Blue Jays' farmhand. At age 34, he'll have to adapt to his new utility infielder role if he wants to continue his career. |

Tue May 22 2012 | 14:58 | White Sox officially sign INF Orlando Hudson |
White Sox signed INF Orlando Hudson to a one-year contract. |
We learned over the weekend that the White Sox were poised to sign Hudson, but the deal is finally official. The 34-year-old is expected to play third base with Brent Morel (back) sidelined and should also back up Gordon Beckham at second base. He was batting just .211/.260/.317 with five triples and 11 RBI prior to his release from the Padres last week, so we aren't expecting much, but he's worth adding in AL-only leagues. |

Mon May 21 2012 | 11:57 | 'O-Dog' to play primarily at 3B for White Sox |
White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Sunday that Orlando Hudson will play primarily at the hot corner. |
Hudson agreed to a deal with the White Sox on Saturday and is expected to join up with the team Tuesday. "(Third base is) probably more of where he would play with Gordon (Beckham) being at second," Ventura told reporters. "He might be able to fill in there later, give (Beckham) a day off here or there." Brent Morel is headed to the disabled list with a bulging disk in his back. |

Hudson was given his unconditional release from the Padres on Thursday, and should compete with Gordon Beckham for regular at-bats at second base in Chicago. Hudson batted just .211/.260/.317 with five triples and 11 RBI prior to his release. If signed, the White Sox would likely be responsible for a prorated amount of his salary. |

Fri May 18 2012 | 14:01 | Giants to take 'hard look' at signing O-Dog |
Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com anticipates the Giants taking a "hard look" at signing the recently released Orlando Hudson. |
Baggarly was also told by Giants vice president Bobby Evans that the club has "put out feelers" for potential infielders available via trade. Hudson batted just .211/.260/.317 with one homer for the Padres this season before being released Thursday, and his defense isn't nearly as good as it used to be. But, the Giants just might be desperate enough to give him a shot. |

Wed Apr 25 2012 | 21:22 | Orlando Hudson goes deep |
Orlando Hudson ripped a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. |
It was his only hit in four at-bats, but Hudson now has an eight-game hitting streak going that's pushed his average from .097 to an even .200. Obviously, that's still nothing to write home about, but it could quiet the whispers that O-Dog might lose his second base job. |

Thu Mar 22 2012 | 17:22 | O-Dog (groin) 'feeling good' |
Orlando Hudson (groin) told reporters Thursday in Padres camp that he's "feeling good." |
Hudson was pulled from Wednesday's Cactus League game after feeling renewed tightness in his troublesome right groin. But he's considered day-to-day, and should be back in action at some point next week. At this point, the veteran second baseman is not in danger of being unavailable for the start of the regular season. |

Wed Mar 21 2012 | 17:20 | O-Dog exits game with renewed groin tightness |
Orlando Hudson left Wednesday's game after experiencing renewed tightness in his right groin. |
The "O-Dog" was making his first appearance in a Cactus league game since March 13, but he was only able to last three innings. If he can't get healthy by the middle of next week, there will be legitimate cause for concern about his readiness for the start of the regular season. The veteran second baseman batted just .246/.329/.352 in 119 games last year for San Diego and holds almost no fantasy value in mixed leagues. |
