Wednesday marked Day 3 of spring training for the Minnesota Twins. Another day complete means another edition of TMZ, Twins Media Zone, featuring tweets of beats down in Florida with the team.
Almost every single Twin has reported. Players are due by Friday.
The only three players not here at Twins camp are Jason Kubel, Eduardo Escobar and Danny Santana. Kubel expected to be here tomorrow.

Ryan Pressly dropped his change in order to limit his array of pitches.
Ryan Pressly is no longer throwing a change-up. Said he junked it at midseason last year. "Too many pitches," he said. #mntwins

Ex-Twin Liam Hendriks was designated by the Baltimore Orioles. Not a fun stretch for him.
Poor Liam Hendriks, designated for assignment by #Orioles today. Could be headed for 4th different employer in past 2 months.

I just really like this picture of Glen Perkins and the blue sky and the thought of not being in a Blizzard Warning.

Perk also tried to knock some sense into Pitching Coach Rick Anderson.

Eddie Guardado fell yesterday. Let’s make fun of him!
