Assessing Spring Training Performances As Roster Decisions Loom

Related Topics: Nick Allen, Abraham Toro

It’s really difficult to look at spring training results and try to draw conclusions around who is ready for prime time and who suited to the 2am slot on Peacock Apple Plus or whatever new fangled “station” has cropped up since last night.

Are you mashing against some “back of the book” pitchers or are you spraying liners all over the field because your rebuilt stance is paying dividends? Can you fan four straight because they are non roster invitees or is your cutter breaking harder and later following a winter’s work at Driveline?

Still, game results are a big piece of what we have at our disposal as the final week of cuts rears its head.
