Twins Spring Training: Sights From Fort Myers Day 3
Earlier this week, the Minnesota Twins pitchers and catchers were required to report to the newly renovated Hammond Stadium. Although positional players aren’t yet required to show up, many of them have arrived early and are proving eager to get the 2015 season underway. No games are taking place until next week, but there is plenty going on around the facility.

With Paul Molitor running his first Spring Training, there is plenty of buzz around the team. Neil Allen, the Twins new pitching coach, is already establishing rapport with his new staff as well.
Take a look at some of the sights and happenings from the Twins third day of Spring Training.
