Twins Begin Spring Workouts

(Ft. Myers, FL) -- It's springtime in Florida anyway.  The Minnesota Twins pitchers and catchers are scheduled to hold their first official workout today in Fort Myers. Many of them have been in Florida working out for a week or two, but today is the first mandatory practice session.  A couple new faces this year include pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes and catcher Kurt Suzuki whom the Twins acquired through free agency.  The rest of the squad is required to report on Friday with a full squad workout set for Saturday. The first spring training game comes on Friday, February 28th against the Red Sox in Fort Myers.  Some select spring training games and all Twins regular season games can be heard on KROC AM.
