MLB Spring Training 2012: 5 Burning Questions for Opening Day
If you hibernated over the winter, you sure missed a lot of baseball action, even though no games were played.
Remember the 2011 NLCS between St Louis and Milwaukee? Remember stars Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols battling for a trip to the World Series? Now, a matchup between Fielder and Pujols would include the Los Angeles Angels and the Detroit Tigers.
I remember watching ESPN the night before the Angels made their splash in the free agent market. Analysts expected Pujols to stay with the Cardinals and look to lead St. Louis to a second straight title. Then, LA swooped in, signed Pujols and C.J Wilson, and got ready for a great 2012.
Oh, and those Florida Marlins you remember? Yeah, the ones that finished 72-90 and couldn’t get anything going? They’re in a much better place now.
Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes all don the Marlin black, and Ozzie Guillen will now complain in an all new ballpark built near downtown Miami, which the Marlins are ready to dominate in.
Teams have made their moves. Spring training has now begun, and the stars you see swinging bats and throwing baseballs over the summer are now preparing to bring their A-game once the season starts.
And we have all kinds of questions that will be answered come April.
