This is the only picture the AP or Getty Images has taken of Joe Mauer this spring training, and he's not even doing anything in it.

Welcome to Tuesday Twins talk! Here are some of today's notes:

It seemed impossible, but Tom Powers is reporting that Joe Mauer has gotten even more boring.

Pedro Florimon's recovery from having his appendix removed in February is apparently going a bit slow. As the West Central Tribune put it: "'I'm not worried,' said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, looking exceedingly worried."

Oswaldo Arcia has apparently been sick, and the team staff told him to go home last weekend before he infected everyone on the team a la the awesome stomach flu of 2011.

The Sporting News has a long and detailed preview of the Twins 2014 season. Good news: they think we can finish in fourth place!

The Target Field grounds crew began removing snow from Target Field during yesterday's heat wave. Less than a month to go!

With the All-Star Game coming to Target Field this summer, Minneapolis lawmakers are proposing a bill that would allow bars surrounding the event to stay open until 4 am.
