Spring Training results should always be taken with a grain of salt. Many a manager has fallen into the trap of overweighting the performance of a given player during the spring exhibition season, only to suffer the consequences when said player falls back into their usual ways when the regular season begins.
Milwaukee Brewers fans know this phenomenon well, seeing as they watched their team give countless opportunities to infielder Vinny Capra last year after an eye-popping Cactus League performance. That blind faith, stemming from Capra's Spring Training results, led to an 0-for-36 hitless streak at the plate that shortly preceded the Brewers designating the infielder for assignment prior to Memorial Day weekend.
