For position players, that is the only value of spring. If you are doing poorly, then thats a reason to be concerned, but success has to be disregarded. A position player can't win spring, they can only lose.
For pitchers, you usually can't even do that much because they are often working on pitches and not necessarily trying to get anyone out. It might be somewhat useful if a pitcher is fighting for a job in the last couple weeks, if you know the pitcher is probably doing his best to win a job then spring isn't completely worthless.
