All Pitchers, Catchers Report For Camp On Time… Except For Mijares

Update:  Mijares did show up the next day.  According to him, he had issues with airport security over hair gel. (02/24/10)

All Minnesota Twins’ pitchers and catchers expected to report to camp are accounted for except for pitcher Jose Mijares, who is reportedly having Visa issues and is expected to be in camp Tuesday.

The same “Visa issues” kept Mijares from attending Twins’ Fest earlier this offseason as well.  Media sources are saying the team is disappointed in the pattern, especially since they didn’t find out about his recent travel issues until the day he was supposed to report.

Note:  Catcher Jose Morales is expected to get his cast removed and begin hitting from the right side in two weeks, and from the left side in four.
