WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Spring training has a familiar look for Clint Robinson despite the change in location.
He spent the offseason at home in Arkansas doing his usual low-key things. Ready to go, he drove to West Palm Beach, Florida on Feb. 12, two days before pitchers and catchers were supposed to report, only to be told he could not access the facility until the next day. Once allowed in, he situated his locker, said hello as one of a handful of position players already in town and settled in for a fight for his job.
