Denard Span had a rather humorous tweet a little while ago (above) as he prepares to come to this frozen state from Florida.

But the Twins' Twitter development of the day has to be Danny Valencia joining up this morning.

He seems to be enjoying himself in a *ahem* typically understated way. Sample tweets:

"Is 5,000 followers the first day a possibility? I think it is!!! Come out of hiding and follow, I don't bite!!!"

"That 'hide your daughters' thing really got blown out of proportion!!! Come out come out wherever you are....and follow me on here!!!! Lol"

"I decided to bring my charisma to twitter! I apologize in advance for anyones feelings who may get hurt!!"

That last tweet was Valencia's first-ever tweet. And it brings you to this photo. Nicely done, Mr. Third Base.
