Spring Training games are rather meaningless, but that's not really true if you are fighting for a spot on the big league club with every outing.
All eyes will be on Michael Pineda, and the radar gun, tonight as he tries to avoid a stint with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre/Empire State Traveling Roadshow. How he performs tonight will have a major impact on not only his standing with the team, but the other starters he's likely battling for the last spots in the rotation.
