Earlier in our Washington Nationals 2015 Player Review series, we discussed the surprising success of Nationals infielder Danny Espinosa. While Espinosa’s offensive resurgence was one of the biggest and most welcome surprises of the year, there was one player who went even further in surpassing all expectations last season: Clint Robinson.
The Nationals invited Robinson to Spring Training last season as a non-roster invitee. He wasn’t supposed to spend a whole lot of time with the big league club, and he certainly wasn’t supposed to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster.
