Grapefruit League Action...The Important Part

There is a little over two weeks left in spring training. The Blue Jays have 15 games left before they count. This is the time you want to see players round into form. It doesn't matter if they hit .100 over the first half, its how they end that should matter.

Spring training exists primarily for the starting pitchers to build up their stamina. The starters are now targeting close to 5 innings per start, and hope to stretch to six and seven before spring ends. The starting lineup will get an extra inning or two as well so they are ready to go nine in two weeks.
