Hello again everyone. I just reported for spring training, but I enjoyed my last few weeks of the offseason, seeing family, playing golf, and I even made it down to Miami to catch some of the Super Bowl festivities. I spent some time down in Ft. Meyers, FL, before the pitchers and catchers began our workouts on February 22. If you live anywhere near Minnesota, you’ll agree that spending time in Florida this time of year is never a bad thing. I always look forward to the start of spring training, but this year I am a little more excited than usual. We finished our last season so strong, and I think there is a huge sense of optimism amongst both the players and the fans as we begin preparations for this year. Also, we have some new faces that should prove to be integral parts of another successful season, and I am looking forward to getting to know guys like Thome, Hardy, Hudson, and Condrey. It’s a great time to be a part of the Minnesota Twins, and I hope fans are excited about this year, especially because we get to play in the new stadium.

I asked Jake if, when he perused the field, he envisioned how it might affect the play of Joe, the American League’s three-time batting champion.
“What I really noticed is that there’s not much foul territory,” he said. “The hitters are going to like that; I don’t think the pitchers are going to like it. There are a lot of foul balls that are going to get into the stands that otherwise probably would have been caught.”
FORT MYERS, Fla. — J.J. Hardy’s initial reaction when he was traded to the Twins in early November was to think of which players he knew on Minnesota’s roster.
The first one that came to mind was pretty easy for Hardy, considering that he and Twins catcher Joe Mauer have been good friends since they were around 17 years old.
The two players first met in Hermosillo, Mexico, in 2000 while playing as teammates on the under-18 Pan-American Games squad. Both of them were finishing up their junior years of high school and found themselves hitting it off right away.
