Day 5. I still haven’t been handed a lawsuit by using TMZ as a thing. I’m glad, but I am cautious. Tread lightly.
All-Star closer Glen Perkins is doing good.
So far, so good for Glen Perkins coming off that right knee scope. Threw his 3rd bullpen of camp today. Expects to throw live BP on Sunday.

Josmil Pinto told me he's still playing long toss at 150 feet 3 times a week. Shoulder is holding up so far. #MNTwins

One thing about Josmil Pinto: He never ices. "I don't like ice," he told me. "I never have. I don't like how that feels." #MNTwins

Josmil Pinto did say if a #MNTwins trainer insisted that he put ice on his shoulder, he would. But he's really against the whole idea.

Brian Dozier has been hurt a lot this week. His hair seems unaffected.
