Jayson Werth took a jab at the media shortly after arriving at spring training. He was steadfast in his belief that, at 36 years old, turning 37 in May, he would be able to play like he always had. All he needed was his health. Though, he said sarcastically, based on what he had been reading, he may already be done.
Werth was extrapolating the discussion around how to insert outfielder Michael A. Taylor into the lineup after flashes of power and speed as a rookie were backed by a hot spring. Nationals manager Dusty Baker said he was going to find a way for Taylor to play.
