Freealonzo sends this delightful communique from Fort Meyers:
Ron Gardenhire is like a kid in a candy store, always smiling, laughing, giving everyone a hard time, clearly he loves what he is doing.It's pretty easy to understand why Matty Lacroix gets so much ribbing. He's easily the most vocal person out there, always giving teammates a hard time, and a lot of self-deprecating humor.
According to Freealonzo's wife, Michael Restovich would be her boyfriend. Freealonzo's mom was partial to Terry Tiffle. Cuddyer was sporting new facial hair which according to both Freealonzo's wife and mother, took away from his boyfriendness.
Speaking of boyfriends, there are a number of women at spring training looking to make a Twin or two their boyfriend.
Finally the Chairman's knee looked pretty good. He took part in all drills and to my eye didn't seem to limp, favor his knee, or look like he was in any pain.
Tell the Batlings who are heading to Fort Myers that if they want to see the pitchers, they have to get at the fields early (9:30 am) as they do their warmups and then they are in the club house. Also, the rumor was that Torii and Jacque were also already at camp but that they work out early and then they go inside.
