Spring Training or ( That guy in our league drafted Zach Wheeler and I do not think he is coming back to change his roster)

     Welcome to Spring Training.  Where drafts, competitions, and injuries all collide before the season even starts.  I personally believe that leagues drafted in early march are the most fearless and researched.  Though, you really can not predict injuries.  Zach Wheeler was decently high on draft boards everywhere.  Now he is going to be spending the next thirteen months rehabbing, fifteenth before he is anywhere near a mound in the major leagues.  Besides injuries, Spring Training is very exciting.  You get to see the league mates you have not seen since last year.  Speculate what player is going to be the break out star for their team.  Tell them before the draft that Rusney Castillo has the starting job locked so you can get Mookie Betts (the man with his foot really in the door).  But other than the gamesmanship, its about being together with your friends and enjoying a sport you love to watch and/or play.  Whether it is your first time sitting in an two hour auction draft with just a price list or you are a season vet with sleepers and a prospectus list in a keepers league; it is the beginning of another year.  To repeat, retry, conquer, progress, rebuild, or just give it your best shot.  Memories and mocking will go hand in hand, but this will be our year.  This is our sport.
