While not all position players are required to be present for a couple more days, most have already shown up to Hammond Stadium for the 2015 season. With a handful of Twins beat writers on site for the next month to cover the action, we are able to give you a look into what is taking place down in Florida.

Position players have been getting work in as well and the Twins appear to be all systems go to start the spring. Take a look at some of the highlights thus far.
