Baker faces tough choices regarding pitchers

VIERA, Fla. -- Dusty Baker has only overseen a few days of workouts during the Nationals' Spring Training, yet he is already considering the decisions he will have to make by the end of camp.

"I've had some good teams," Baker said, "but these are the toughest pitching decisions I've ever had to make."

Baker is still learning about his new team, but he spent the first few days raving about the talent he has seen -- and the first full-squad workout is not even until Thursday.

Among the decisions Baker will have to consider is what to do if veteran right-hander Bronson Arroyo or top prospect Lucas Giolito turn in a strong spring.
