Davey Martinez said early this spring he wanted to see the Naionals’ top prospects go out and compete this spring and fight for a spot on the big league roster.
“Right now there’s an opportunity for all these guys, and I want them to come to camp and try to compete and win the job,” the manager said.
“There’s really nothing set in stone,” as far as the Opening Day roster, he said. “I want these guys to come here and try to win a job.”
Whether or not the Nats’ young, up-and-coming players actually make the 26-Man roster out of Spring Training, they’re getting an opportunity to test themselves against big league talent and show the Nationals’ brass how far they’ve come in terms of their development.
