Using his Wil power
Minor-league invitee 1B Nick Weglarz is an engaging, funny guy. He's also resourceful. To gain Twitter followers (@Wegz33) he plans to take advantage of his locker location and report heavily on his more popular neighbor. "Everything you want to know about Wil Myers," he said. "What he had for breakfast, which shoe he puts on first. Everything."
