Competition is the Key in Spring Training!

Hello Nats...

Mr. Bowden has brought a great deal of players into spring training to force competition. The competition then can lead to a trade for another key player.

The competition I believe will be for the following:

1) Corner Outfielders
Subjects: Dunn, Willingham, Kearns , Davis, Bernadina, Patterson and Dukes

2) First Base
Subjects: Dunn and Johnson

3) 2nd Base
Subjects: Hernandez and Belliard

4) Starting Rotation
Subjects: Lannan, Olsen, Hill, Perez, Cabrera, J. Zimmerman Martis, and Balester

5) Bullpen:
Subjects: J.Zimmerman,Perez, Balester, Rivera, Shell,Mock,Chico, Bergmann, O'Connor, Clippard, Colome, Martis Estrada, Hinckley, T. Young and Hanrahan,

6) Bench/Pinch Hitter:
Belliard,Hernandez, Gonzalez, Castro, D. Young, Harris, Kearns/Dukes, and Patterson. (Everyone Else? LOL)

I tell you one thing. It will be exciting for a team that lost 102 games last year. I think it is a great sign! Let spring training come into full swing!
