The Minor League season may be canceled, but some prospects will appear in Minor League stadiums behind closed doors this summer.

Summer Camps -- the second edition of Spring Training -- have opened across the Majors. In order to prepare, each organization had to announce new-look 60-man player pools. To begin, most members of the player pools have worked out of Major League ballparks, but a few are training or soon will begin to do so at nearby alternate sites. That latter group will grow as clubs make cuts in preparation for an initial 30-man Opening Day roster. When those prospects arrive at the alternate sites, they may find the sights familiar.

Of the 30 announced alternate sites, 20 include Minor League stadiums -- eight from Triple-A, four from Double-A, four from Class A Advanced, three from Class A and one from Class A Short Season. Other sites include local facilities, independent league stadiums and college ballparks among others.
