This year will be my first year going down to Florida spring training for just practices. Ill be there from Feb 18-26 or 27. Ill be in the Fort Myers area and was just wondering if anyone knows what the practices are like down there? What time should I get there? Is there any really good place to go that's better then others?

I went to Braves training for a game last year. I didn't get any autos before the game. Phil Niekro was signing here and there during BP. After the game I went around the stadium to the back of the field. I got Dale Murphy on 3 items, Jason Heyward on 3 items, Craig Kimbrel on 2 items. A-Rod came by and signed for a handful of fans, but he passed on my OMLB. Their minor league team from Gwinnett was practicing at the same time and were walking right past everyone. If I had any idea who they were I could have got the whole team. Talking with other fans that were jumping from stadium to stadium, rumor was the Prince Fielder was signing everything last year, so I will try him this year. I was only there for 1 game and thought what I got was good for one day. But this was the day of a game and I know their practice days people did a lot better.
