PHOTOS: Diamondbacks are playing paintball Tuesday
Team-building exercises in spring training aren't all too uncommon, whether baseball-related (like last season's Cubs' bunt tournament) or not (like the 2009 Yankees having a billiards tournament). A good 2013 entry comes to us via those gritty Arizona Diamondbacks, who are going to have a paintball war.
Here are some of the offerings from the Twitter machine (click on each picture to enlarge):

You should be !!!!RT @tylerskaggs37: Team paintball today @dbacks I'm kinda scared of this guy @wademiley36 twitter.com/TylerSkaggs37/…

It's a good thing they got rid of problem children Justin Upton and Trevor Bauer. Those guys surely would have ruined this activity with those sour attitudes, right?
Also of note: The background to Miley's Twitter page is a picture of him holding a dead deer -- so his assessment that his teammates should be scared of him may be on the mark.
