spring training success/failure
During spring training, many fans dismiss game results as not indicative of what will happen during the actual season. Managers experiment with a number of different players, many of whom will never make it to the active roster. So, in many ways, the teams that face each other in spring training look nothing like the ones who will meet during the actual season. It is hard to project a season’s outlook for many veteran pitchers or offensive production for position players because they often experiment with different hitting/pitching strategies/ changed mechanics while the games don’t count. However, particularly for rookies and young players, spring training is a critical time for them to show their respective team their potential, and take advantage of more opportunities to adjust to major league ball. Are you concerned with how your team fares in spring training? Do you think that spring results are more indicative of a season outlook for pitchers or batters? Veterans or rookies? Is there anything that worries you regarding your team based on what has happened thus far in spring training?

Probably More For Rookies
For injured players and rookies Spring Training is a good indicator of who will be producing once the regular season starts. Veterans are usually hit or miss depending on unforseen injuries and past consistency perfomances or underperformances.
