Official Spring Training Starts

Though a few players have been working out for a couple of days down in Florida, the Twins held their first official pitchers and catchers practice yesterday

News? Pedro Florimon had his appendix removed and will miss a couple of weeks. A forty man roster player, Edgar Ibarra, was diagnosed with Hepatitis B a few weeks ago. He now has lingering long-term health concerns. He's a 24-year old pitcher who wasn't expected to make the major leagues for awhile.
