Pedro Florimon might be pretty good with the glove, which is refreshing compared to other recent Twins shortstops (Plouffe, Nishioka, Dozier).

Mark Martin might be thanking his lucky stars that he wasn't hurt or killed in his scary wreck at Michigan.

Melky Cabrera might be hoping this whole drug thing just blows over.
