With the MLB season not starting until Friday, Moreno has stayed behind in Florida to get extra work. Visa issues delayed his arrival to spring training, and he missed a week of workouts trying to get his travel papers in order.
The Buffalo Bisons' 1:05 game against the Iowa Cubs is the first of the season at every level of the sport. The majors, of course, don't open their lockout-delayed season until Thursday. And every other minor-league opener set for Tuesday is a later start than what's planned in Buffalo.
