Why Spring Training Matters for AthX
Player prices on AthX reflect performance and market demand. In spring training:
Roles become clearer. Who's the everyday shortstop? Who's in the rotation? Clarity can lift or lower prices.Injuries and health hit the news. A setback can create a short-term dip; a clean bill of health can support value.Position battles create uncertainty—and sometimes buying opportunities if the market overreacts.Use the next few weeks to build or adjust your portfolio before the season begins.
What to Watch

Follow official and beat sources. A key player returning to full activity can be a positive signal; a new concern can create volatility.Lineup and role news
Who's hitting leadoff? Who's closing? Playing time and role drive fantasy production—and AthX dividends—so follow lineup and usage reports.Early performance (with a grain of salt)
Spring stats are noisy. Don't overreact to a hot or cold week. Use performance as one input alongside role and health.Roster moves
Trades and cuts can change opportunity. When a team adds or subtracts at a position, it can affect the value of players you hold or are watching.How to Use This on AthX
