This bullpen was going to need a complete rebuild.

Pitchers and catchers reported last week, and now the remaining position players have joined them. However, there was a noticeable shift in energy at Twins camp on Monday morning.

	I&#x2019;m not suggesting you pack your Type A personality on your trip to Fort Myers, but you also don&#x2019;t want to miss the big stuff. Like eating. Or finding shade. Or seeing your favorite ballplayers up close.&#xA0;

	Acquired from the Boston Red Sox in mid-January for catching prospect Nate Baez, Tristan Gray joined his third organization in two months, becoming a member of the Minnesota Twins.

On paper, they have checked those boxes, albeit without much flash. Josh Bell adds a switch-hitting bat with power. Victor Caratini provides depth and flexibility behind the plate.

That debate may have just resolved itself.

Any value in watching spring training games isn&#x2019;t in looking at players&#x2019; stats. Partly, that&#x2019;s because it&#x2019;s just such a small sample size.

No splashy press conference, no massive contract. Just a two-year, $14 million deal for veteran catcher and first baseman Victor Caratini.




	On the surface, it&#x2019;s easy to shrug at it.
