Spring Training 2009

And speaking of optimism. The end of February and the first of March mark the beginning of Major League Baseball's Spring Training.

Each year, all team gather in either Arizona or Florida for a month or so to get in shape, evaluate players and hone the skills needed to be ready for a hundred and sixty two games.

Regardless of payroll level, depth of talent or last year's record, they have one object and that is to win the World Series.

How great would it be if business could have a spring training. One month a year to hone skills and focus energies. One month to commit to winning the prize. One month to evaluate talent and make the appropriate personnel moves.
