Where's the Offense
My Baseball Bias doesn't like what he's seen from the Devil Rays hitters so far this spring. And while you need to take two weeks of spring training games with a grain of salt, he makes a very good point here:
Are there reasons for concern? I would say yes even though it's a very small sample size. Their current team K/BB ratio is 4:1, which tells us that this is still a very impatient group of hitters.
The correct spin might be that they've been working toward specific goals in games, and once the we get closer to the season they'll start playing to win. But you would think that being selective at the plate would be part of that plan.
