Ivan Nova, Brett Lawrie Among AL East Players Impressing Early in Camp

FORT MYERS, Fla. — We are reminded every single spring how little statistics in March mean in the grand scheme of things. For the most part, that is the case. Every once in awhile a pitcher who struggles in spring training will struggle in the regular season, but there is nothing empirical coming out of a laboratory somewhere to suggest that a strong correlation exists.

Still, baseball fans love their numbers, so let's relax a bit and make wild overreactions to the first full week of Grapefruit League play, just for fun. Maybe one of the guys who have started strong is just providing a precursor to a special season, or someone slow to get going is doomed for a down year. You never know.
