The Nats have had a strong start to exhibition play in Florida; for whatever that is worth. Mark & Al begin with James Wood seeing a lot of action in RF so far this Spring Training. Wood has a lot of CF experience in the minors and LF duty in the majors, but has not found a permanent spot in the outfield.  There is also conjecture that Wood could switch to 1B within the next few seasons.

(14:30) Brady House homered twice in the Spring Training opener vs. Miami.  House struggled mightily in his rookie season at the plate, but this will be his first Opening Day in the Big Leagues at 3B.

(21:40) The annual February focus on improved base running.

(26:25) The Nationals did not seem to sign a collection of veterans that could be flipped at the Trade Deadline unlike previous seasons.

(35:10) Is there another signing on its way or only if there is an injury?

(37:30) Mark relayed questions to Manager Blake Butera that were contributed from subscribers at natsjournal.com
