What they might be doing ...

Mike Lundin might be the latest Wild acquisition that has fans excited for the season.

Anthony Swarzak might be feeling pretty good about how he's filled in the Twins rotation.

Joe Mauer might be looking at his homer total of zero and recall that two years ago, he was in the Home Run Derby.

FIVE THINGS

For whatever it's worth, David Ortiz can become the Home Run Derby's all-time leader in homers today. The top five:

• K. Griffey Jr. 70

• D. Ortiz 68

• Ja. Giambi 67

• S. Sosa 65

• M. McGwire 56

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Don't anoint him as the crown prince yet. He has won one major. When he starts to win two, three or four, then you can say he's the guy we've got to watch, period." -- Jack Nicklaus, tempering his enthusiasm for Rory McIlroy in an interview with the BBC.
