After one of the most active and entertaining offseasons in recent memory, Major League Baseball is back where it belongs—on the field—with teams reporting to spring training in preparation for the upcoming season.
It affords us our first look at new faces in new places, something that each and every one of baseball's 30 teams deal with on a yearly basis.
But there are a handful of teams whose rosters look significantly different than they did at the end of last season. Call it what you will: rebuilding, retooling, tweaking. Some of those efforts are a long process that's drawn out over a few years. For others, the overhaul comes in the span of a few weeks.
These rebuilding jobs have been hyped up to the point that it'd be easy to believe that every team that's traveled down this road heads into 2015 as a legitimate contender. Except that's simply not true: There are still some pretenders among the group.
Let's take a crack at making some sense of it all.
