Under-the-Radar MLB Teams Poised to Impress in 2016 Spring Training

It's OK to admit you're excited to watch the Kansas City Royals, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox or any other high-profile team this spring. We all are, man. Just let it out.

But for anyone who wants to sound like a real baseball know-it-all around the nearest water cooler, we happen to have a list of under-the-radar clubs that can steal the show in spring training.

The list consists of five teams, with four coming from the American League and one coming from the National League. These clubs are being overlooked from a national perspective, but they have their reasons for why they could stand out this spring. Some have especially strong lineups. Others have especially strong pitching. Some have both.

We'll begin with a team that's merely intriguing and work our way toward the team that could be both intriguing and really good.
