Spring surprise: Jimmy checks in

On Sunday, Jayson Werth, Matt Stairs and Eric Bruntlett arrived to camp.

On Tuesday, a day before the first, official, full-squad workout everyone else checked in, too. Shane Victorino, Greg Dobbs, Pedro Feliz and newcomer Raul Ibanez were all inside the clubhouse at Bright House Field before 9 a.m.

And then shortly after 9, Jimmy Rollins arrived. There was at least one unofficial pool on what time J-Roll would arrive - most people had time slots between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.... on Tuesday.

Jimmy at camp on Monday was a bit of a upset.

The sight of Jimmy strolling through with his equipment bag on his shoulder and a smile on his face and delivering handshakes all around continued the theme this spring: coming off a World Series championship, welcome to Camp Happy.

One other morning note: a bunch of scribes chatted it up with Feliz, who had back surgery in November. Pete Happy says he hasn't started swinging yet, but fully expects to be good to go for Opening Day.

More on Feliz in Tuesday's Daily Times...
