Any reason to play them by preference in Spring training? I'm kind of of the mind they'll get there when they get there but I know that Spring Training also seems to give players a bit of a bump. Any reason to give them at bats or just let the youngsters have at it? <BTW: Apologies - this probably should have been in the help section> Updated Monday, May 8 2017 @ 4:34:26 pm PDT

If you have records of who if any of them played last spring training but didn't gain SI, then I wouldn't put them back in, otherwise I have always played young major leaguers with room left to grow.
