In broken bat, is spring training useful in helping players prepare for the regular season in anyway? Will the major league players performance be negatively affected if they haven't played during spring training and start the season "cold"?

Unlike in real baseball, where players used to come to spring training out of shape and needed a month of conditioning to be ready for the season, in Broken Bat this isn’t necessary. Play your youngster and maximize their big league experience. Steve
