Justin Morneau says he’ll be ready for spring training:

But Morneau has started working out hard this week and said that doctors recently put him through another battery of concussion tests.

“It’s still improving,” Morneau said. “They’re encouraging me to workout and do everything you can do there. It’s gone well.”

Morneau plans to head to his offseason home in Arizona soon to begin strenuous workouts to get his body ready for spring training and, he hopes, a full season. He missed the final month of 2009 because of a back injury and has had to watch the Twins in the postseason for two straight years.

That’s excellent news.
