Spring Training Games This Week

It doesn't mean anything, right? Spring Training games start this week all over Florida & Arizona. However, if you are a coach or player, there are certain goals that you attempt to achieve over the next 30 days.

Coaches look to evaluate new talent, bring along the veterans, set-up a pitching rotation, monitor innings in the field & at-bats.

Players with contracts are just getting their mind & body ready for the 162-game grind of the regular season. Non-contract invitees are playing to get a job & a contract.

Wins, losses & individual stats are not as important as team chemistry, health & settling into a good routine. Let the games begin. It's nice to have baseball back.
