Odds & Ends: 02-19-2010
Just some odds and ends for week ending February 19, 2010.
The Twins twitter account has been active lately, sending regular updates on who is reporting in, trying to drum up more followers and promoting Twins season tickets. One interesting post was of a picture of Target Field. At first glance you might think this was a practical joke by the grounds crew trying to drum up some more attention for the new field, but it actually has a purpose.
Although the 40,000-seat open-air ballpark has a heated field, by blowing out the snow in the grid pattern will help melt the snow faster according to the grounds crew.
As the Twins ballplayers start to arrive in Fort Meyer, the Star Tribunes LaVelle Neal takes some time to explain why the Twins have a late start to spring training as opposed to other teams.
LaVelle explains how the Twins have a organized system to get players on and off the field as fast as possible. The system was implemented by Tom Kelly and Ron Gardenhire continues to use the same method as it gets the organization ready for the start of the regular season in the form they want.
