Tonight at 6:05 PM ET in West Palm Beach, FL, the Washington Nationals and New York Mets meet up in Grapefruit League action in the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The rivals in the NL East will be live on the airwaves via MLB.com, with Charlie Slowes (we think) down in Florida calling the action again. Will we see (hear) Victor Robles leading off for the club in tonight’s matchup?
Manager Davey Martinez has been trying to see what the 23-year-old outfielder can bring to the top of the order this spring, and he provided an update on his thinking about the team’s experiment with Robles up top when he spoke this past Thursday afternoon.
