With the calendar flipping to March and the Olympics a thing of the past, we can all settle in for spring training and the upcoming baseball regular season.

While fans will be watching their favorite pitchers, hitters, and coaches prepare for the season, behind these select players are smoking WAGs who will catch plenty of attention in their own right.

These players attached to these WAGs will face various successes and failures during the season, but they all return home to women that will make them feel like winners.

Laura Cover

Aaron Boone's career ended early due to a heart issue, but the hero of the 2003 ALCS locked up this former Playmate.

Cover has been a cover girl, a centerfold, and a model—dare I say the triumvirate of titles for a WAG?

Lisa Dergan

Royals outfielder Scott Podsednik is pretty much a role player at this point, but he is a superstar in the sports world for his smoking hot wife Lisa Dergan.

The former Playmate was also a sports reporter for Fox Sports, making for the perfect blend of looks and sports brains.

Marikym Hervieux

Marikym Hervieux, the girlfriend of Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, is the perfect WAG for Los Angeles. A blond French-Canadian model who looks fantastic in any beachwear is the standard bearer for Los Angeles WAGs.

Jamie Kotsay

Jamie Kotsay is the wife of big league journeyman Mark Kotsay. The White Sox outfielder has changed uniforms four times in the last three seasons, but he always has a solid base with his hot wife.

Minka Kelly

Rumors have swirled that Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter will get married following the 2010 season. Kelly is already one of the hottest WAGs out there, but if the marriage to the Yankees captain does happen, will that make her the Queen WAG?

Emily Kuchar

Royals pitcher Zack Greinke won the American League Cy Young Award last November. He doubled his trophies that month when he married his high school sweetheart and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

Michelle Damon

Michelle Damon is the second wife of Tigers outfielder Johnny Damon. Michelle Damon was featured in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, making for the ideal woman to root from the stands.

Heidi Hamels

Heidi Hamels, formerly Strobel, was a contestant on the TV show Survivor before marrying the Phillies left-hander on New Year's Eve 2006. Cole Hamels struggled through much of the 2009 season, but having a wife like Heidi certainly takes away some of the sting.

Molly Beers

Beers is the longtime girlfriend of New York Mets All-Star third baseman David Wright. Wright hit a career low in home runs in 2009, but I can see how dating a girl like Beers could sap your power.

Every big New York sports star needs a hot WAG, and Wright has his.

Jennie Finch

If anything in this relationship, it should be Casey Daigle who is the HAG to Jennie Finch. Finch is the more popular athlete, a former Olympian, and looker married to Astros minor league pitcher Daigle.

Stephanie McGwire

Stephanie

Stephanie is Mark's longtime wife and perennial WAG. She remained in the background during Mark's temporary excommunication from baseball, but with her husband's new job as Cardinals hitting coach, there are greater odds to see Stephanie return to the spotlight.

Jennifer Lopez

...the other Jennifer Lopez. Lopez is the wife of current St. Louis Cardinals infielder Felipe Lopez.

Lopez met his wife during his minor league career, which makes for pretty good longevity and a good guess by Jennifer's part when attaching herself to an athlete.

Lindsay Clubine

Clubine is the fiancee of Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz. Clubine is best remembered as a face in the crowd of Deal or No Deal. She was the girl attached to Briefcase No. 26.

Laura Posada

Laura Posada, the wife of Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, is a bit of an older face in the crowd amongst the WAGs, but she still holds her own. Laura was not only an actress and model, but is an attorney as well.

Anna Benson

Anna Benson put WAGs on the map when she said she would sleep with the entire New York Mets roster if her husband, pitcher Kris Benson, ever dared to cheat on her while in New York.

Years later, Kris is a free agent, which leaves Anna's big league WAG status in the air. But until her husband officially hangs them up, Anna remains on the radar.
