So last week, Jon Rauch missed a couple of games with hand, foot, and mouth disease. This is the type of thing that I would write in jest, but apparently it actually happened. Let's take a look at some other Twins, along with the old-timey-sounding disease that they're most at risk for:
Nick Punto: Hysterical gallbladder
Matt Guerrier: Housewives' knee
Matt Capps: Gout
Jose Mijares: Cholera
Joe Mauer: Day fever
Orlando Hudson: Lockjaw
Danny Valencia: Thrush
Kevin Slowey: Scrivener's palsy
Drew Butera: Grippe
Carl Pavano: Trench mouth
Anthony Slama: Grocer's itch
Scott Baker: Night terrors
