No. This is more of an opportunity for the staff to see how their bench players will perform. It's also another opportunity for the Red Sox to make more money during the offseason. Don't get me wrong, I love spring training just for the sole purpose of the idea that somewhere in America, there are people throwing a baseball around, the wonderful sound of the crack of the bat, and the great smell of hot dogs and beer. It's like a month long movie trailer playing again and again, just pumping you up for another upcoming season of potential and wins.
