TMZ: Minnesota Twins Media Zone: Spring Training Day 18

And we’re back! TMZ had an off-day yesterday with little on the Twitter front, but we are back and better than ever. It was a soggy day in Florida, while it was quite sunny in extreme Western Wisconsin so… they still win, but I think we win the day.
With all of the wetness, the Minnesota Twins – St. Louis Cardinals tilt was canceled and here’s photographic proof of why.
We do have lineups for tomorrow’s games though!

Let’s look who was out in the outfield before the rain.
An eclectic group working on throws to the plate from OF this morning: E Escobar, C Colabello, J Bartlett, converted infielders all.

I'm told Eduardo Escobar is a natural at those OF drills, fast to ball, cannon arm, accurate. On team w/some so-so OF defense, could matter.

Here’s what Ricky Nolasco did with his rained out start.
His start rained out, Ricky Nolasco is pitching simulated game in bullpen so staff stays on rotation.

I love Doug Mientkiewicz so much, guys!
FtMyers manager Doug Mientkiewicz watches pickoff move, yells encouragement, then turns to his coach: "No way that's legal."
