Obviously there is a LOT of attention being given to the Twins newest infielder, Tsuyoshi Nishioka, but Twins fans really don’t have much to SEE yet. (If you are a Facebook user, I encourage you to go to his Fan Page). The Twins have even put out a little video heads up from the clubhouse but if you can’t wait for the televised spring training outings, here is some videos put together interviewing him on his home turf and even on the field.
Mike Pomeranz from Kare11 actually got to go to Japan to meet Nishioka and brought the video back to share with us in Minnesota. At least this should give all of us a better idea of what to expect when the boys hit Ft. Meyers!

And even a little extra attention on his new wife:
Obviously, this is just not quite the same as seeing him actually play with the rest of our team but let’s call it whetting the appetite!
Thanks. Great set of videa links.
Interesting to see how all this is viewed in the Twin Cities. Media here in Japan following him pretty intently, with some shots all the way into the hot-tub room at Target Field.
Regretting I’ll not make it over to Ft. Myers to see Tsuyoshi there.
