The Twins had a short workout today then took off for the afternoon. After some mistakes on Thursday, things went more smoothly on Friday. We'll see how it all turns out on Saturday when Kevin Correia hooks up with Orioles lefty Zach Britton in the spring training opener.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was asked if his team got all the signs down pat, something they worked on Friday.
``We sure hope so," he said, ``We'll wait and see once the games start. We have gone over enough with them. They have gotten their final tuneup and tomorrow we will see what happens. Hopefully they will all remember it out there. Take our time with it and slow down and make sure they get them. There shouldn't be too many signs put on in spring training. They should be out there hitting the ball and getting as many at-bats as they can."
On his expectations for Correia: ``Just go out and get his work in. He's been there and done that. Not overthrow the ball. Pitch to contact and get a couple of innings in. Get his work done, get his pitches in and work on the process of arm strength."
Warning about Correia: He has a career spring training ERA of 5,75.
Ryan Pressly, Luis Perdomo, Tyler Robertson,Josh Roenicke and Tim Wood are on the list to pitch as well.
The catchers: Doumit, Butera, Hermmann, Pinto
Infielders: Florimon, Dozier, Beresford, Colabello, Clement, Escobar, Rosario, Santana, Sobolewski.
