Morning, all.
So a little over a week of spring training games is now in the books. That is, of course, nowhere near enough time to declare we know what’s going on, even in the context of a bunch of barely-not-meaningless spring games which usually seem to have almost no relationship to the regular season record of the team being considered. We have just about four more weeks to go until Opening Day, and maybe two more weeks before the methadone of March baseball gives way to the craving for the real stuff again.
Ten days of baseball is never enough to draw strong conclusions, and especially when it’s weird, early March baseball, with rotating casts of characters and fifth-inning defensive switches and pitchers eternally working on Some Things.
