FORT MYERS, FLA. — Sorry folks, no Joe Mauer update yet.
Philip Humber gets his first start of the spring today, and the Orioles are bringing a pretty good lineup, minus Brian Roberts and Melvin Mora, who are at the World Baseball Classic, and all-world catching prospect Matt Wieters, who played Sunday.
The Twins counter with many of their top starters, as well.
