Sure, the Twins top two minor league prospects suffered injuries and a Double A pitcher had TJ surgery. On the major league level, the Twins had one significant injury--Florimon's appendectomy--which occurred before camp started. Looking at the transactions page, just about everyone else has suffered some significant injuries to players slated to contribute this year. In that respect, the Twins have had a successful spring. How's that for a glass half full?

Thanks, stringer ... hope that didn't put the jinx on us!

Is the glass half full because Buxton and Sano are being treated by a different team's medical staff?

That's great. I remember the Twins leaving camp in 2011 for Toranto with an entirely healthy MLB roster. They're weren't any injury problems for the team that season were there? Any that popped up in the first week of the season? Couldn't of been.
