The Washington Nationals have arrived in West Palm Beach, Florida with pitchers and catchers reporting for work on February 12th. Much of the roster appears set as the team is loaded with veterans. However, there are several camp battles that will have a significant impact on the opening day roster and the overall depth of the organization. Here are three key battles that are worth watching leading up to Opening Day.
Kieboom vs. Difo
After the departure of Anthony Rendon during free agency, the Nationals have a lot of questions regarding their infield configuration.
Asdrubal Cabrera, Starlin Castro and Howie Kendrick provide veteran leadership and depth at both second- and third- base, but it is the Nationals top prospect, Carter Kieboom, who will be thrust into the spotlight during spring training.
