In the 2003 season, he was named to the second team All-Big 12.

He began his minor league career with the Class A Quad Cities River Bandits that same year.

2004

In 2004, he played for the Class A-Advanced Fort Myers Miracle, Double-A New Britain Rock Cats, and Triple-A Rochester Red Wings, where he would spend the rest of his minor league career outside of rehab assignments until 2014.

In 2004, Baker went a combined 10–8 with a 3.24 ERA in 26 minor league starts.

2005

He pitched the majority of his 2005 and 2006 seasons with Rochester.

Baker was called up on May 2, 2005; Baseball Prospectus speculated he might make starts in place of Kyle Lohse; Twins' manager Ron Gardenhire said he might be used to start if Lohse did not continue to improve.

Baker did not wind up starting, making his MLB debut by pitching one scoreless inning out of the bullpen in an 8–1 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on May 7.

That was his only appearance with the Twins in May.

He was recalled in July to make his first major league start.

On July 5, he pitched five innings, giving up just two runs on five hits and striking out five; however, he took the loss in a 2–1 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Though he was expected to get sent back to Rochester, Twins' manager Ron Gardenhire had praise for him, saying after the game, "We think we have a quality major leaguer ready to go, and he kind of proved that theory again."

A few weeks later, on July 23, Baker had his first career win in Detroit with a 5–2 victory over the Tigers in Game 2 of a doubleheader.

He started and pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two runs, but was sent back to Rochester immediately after the game, as he had been called up specifically to start in the doubleheader.

On August 29, he returned to the Twins starting rotation for the remainder of the year, making seven consecutive starts to close the season as he replaced Joe Mays in the rotation.

Baker finished his rookie year with a record of 3–3 and an earned run average (ERA) of 3.35 in 10 games (nine starts).

Baker beat out Francisco Liriano to earn the Twins' No. 5 starting spot out of Spring training.

2010

He had a 12–9 record in 2010 but battled injuries towards the end of the year and was left out of the Twins' postseason rotation.

2011

Injuries limited Baker in 2011 again, but he was the only Twins' pitcher to post a winning record.

2012

He missed 2012 after undergoing Tommy John surgery; this also caused him to miss most of 2013, which he spent with the Chicago Cubs.

Baker started eight games for the Rangers but was used mainly as a relief pitcher.
