Whether it is on Twitter, Facebook, or just talking to people here in Ft. Myers or back home, there is one question that seems to come up most frequently at this time of year. At what point to results (statistics) start to matter in spring training?
It’s a good and fair question. So, I asked Twins GM Terry Ryan for his input. We often see a big leaguer hitting .170 and a minor league free agent signing hitting .350 in spring and inevitably, we’ll get the questions. And it is a good question, so it’s one I wanted to discuss a little bit.
