With the MLB season right around the corner, teams are busy showcasing their newly acquired talent during spring training.

A handful of teams significantly improved their rosters as they gear up for a potential World Series run.

In either case, we should see a ton of new faces donning new uniforms this season.

It seems like every year the San Francisco Giants enter spring training desperately looking for pieces to add on, not subtract. Guys who have nagging injuries stemming back to the previous season and a good number of non-roster invitees end up making the team.

Uncertainty came with those players (a lot of it) and the Giants' plans often went awry.

There's a new hair movement sweeping the baseball nation. Countless notable baseball stars are sporting mohawks for good looks and good luck.

In 2008, all of the Tampa Bay Rays players sported mohawks and won the pennant.

Coming off an up-and-down 2010 campaign, the Chicago White Sox are reloaded, "all in" and taking aim at the American League Central title and beyond.

The signing of Adam Dunn put a powerful left-handed bat in the lineup that the Sox so desperately missed last year, and the re-signings of Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski told fans that this team means business.

Still, there are several questions looming over the fields at Camelback Ranch in Glendale. Here's a look at what the White Sox need to accomplish before April.

This is one of the things Mariners fans such as this writer look forward to most every spring.

The Mariners commercials.

From the classics like Edgar installing "The Clapper" for late night BP, and the garage door opener that opened Safeco's roof to Jay Buhner using his bald head to reflect light into opposing batter's eyes, there have been some great ones. Every year, the crop of Mariners ads are viewed as some of the best in baseball.

Hey, you have to be good at something.

Houston Astros (2010 record: 76-86)

It doesn’t appear the 50th-anniversary season for the former Colt .45s will be much of a celebration.
