The standings will continue to fluctuate as teams play more games during Spring Training.

Nevertheless, it's still fun to watch and observe which teams are showing potential and which might need more work before the regular season starts.

In addition to keeping track of team standings, it's also important to pay attention to individual performances during Spring Training.
