This.
And most players, scouts, etc. are on record saying that the AZ experience is more beneficial to the teams than Florida. The two obvious reasons are weather (it rains often in FL, almost never in AZ), and the 2-3 hour drives between cities in FL. As Butch said, in AZ, every team trains in the Phx area...even the 2 Tucson teams have moved up to Phx.
Unless you think that it's more beneficial for the players to sit on a bus for lots of hours instead of working out on a baseball field, it's hard to imagine a reason for choosing Florida.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
