Dodgers: Dodgers vs. Redskins ... er, Nationals
The Washington Nationals have 72 players in camp. Seventy-two. Thirty-eight of them are pitchers. And while they didn't bring nearly that many players to Vero Beach for today's Grapefruit League affair, you have to wonder why they have so many in camp. It creates an almost impossible situation for rookie manager Manny Acta, who is the guy who has to find enough innings and at-bats for all these guys. Sadly, it doesn't figure to make much difference for the Nats, who are playing their final season in rotting old RFK Stadium and probably aren't going to be very good on the field. They have some young talent and a chance to build something when they move into their new ballpark, but for now, it most likely is going to be a long, miserable summer in the capitol.
