Since the Minnesota Twins have been frequenting the disabled list, as well as being called up from and sent down to the minors, I had the urge to look at the roster today.

Infielders Howie Clark and Alexi Casilla and pitchers Bobby Korecky and Glen Perkins are some of the guys who've come up after opening day. Those weren't surprises to me.

But there's a new guy on the 40-man roster.

Four errors by the Cincinnati Reds.

Five hits by the Minnesota Twins.

One run.

That's all the good guys got today, in their first official Spring Training game. (Of course, there was that exhibition almost-loss a day earlier to Concordia College of St. Paul.) It'll take a while, as it does every year, to get the bats warmed up. Come the All-Star break ... well, I digress.

At least new third baseman Michael Lamb, catcher Joe Mauer, and outfielder Michael Cuddyer are batting .500. 

So as of late, the Minnesota Twins' infield seems pretty secure.

Because they were National Leaguers, I don't know a whole lot about second baseman Brendan Harris, shortstop Adam Everett, or third baseman Mike Lamb. I have seen all of them play, and they weren't on my list of hopeful acquisitions for a team that I really, really, really, really want to make the playoffs this year.

But I don't think they'll be half bad, either.

Take a look at the stats for:

The Minnesota Twins sent a message to the New York Yankees: Our Rodriguez can beat up your Rodriguez.
