Now that pitchers and catchers already are crowding camps in both Arizona and Florida, all 30 teams have that once-a-year opportunity to evaluate all of their players in the same place at the same time. While the results of the games don't matter, spring training is still a tremendous opportunity for young players to turn a few heads: fans who might not know who's down on the farm, but also coaches, managers and player development folks. What players show key decision-makers now can have a huge impact on whether they are on the radar for an open roster spot sooner than expected this spring or summer -- and we're not talking just at the back of the bench or in the bullpen, but maybe in the rotation or regular lineup.
