Remember Randy Elliott?
That is all one needs to know re: the value of spring numbers.
The vets use spring training to tune up and get ready for the grind of the regular season. Others do everything they can to impress management so they will be on the SAC-SF express once the season starts (e.g., Munguai, Matos, Meckler) and, of course, there are the fringe guys hoping for a last shot at the big time somewhere (e.g., Bart/Villar).
The only real competition is in the bullpen. The last three slots are still up for grabs.
Otherwise, I think the following are locks:
Bailey
Murphy
Wade
Flores
Estrada
Ahmed
Chapman
Fitzgerald
Soler
Conforto
Lee
Yaz
Slater
Webb
Harrison
Hicks
Winn
Black
Doval
Rogers
Rogers
Jackson
Walker
