The Twins pitchers and catchers reported yesterday and held their first workouts in Ft. Myers today. All but Jose Mijares that is, who apparently screwed up what should have been a routine visa process. If there is one Twins player who could take advantage of every single day of spring training conditioning, it's the rather rotund Mijares.
There always has to be one.
About a week ago I ragged on StarTribune columnist Pat Ruesse. La Velle Neal has an anecdote today that shows that Reusse, who passed rotund years ago, may be a prick at times, but he's a clever prick:
Last year, Reusse is hacking away in the pressbox at Hammond Stadium when Mijares starts to warm up.
``I am having an out-of-body experience!'' Reusse yells for all to hear. ``I am sitting in the pressbox, watching myself warm up in the bullpen!''
Heh. Credit where due.
