Danny Espinosa is not playing games in Space Coast Stadium, where the Washington Nationals' expected Opening Day shortstop has always had trouble picking up pitches because of the batter's eye. Espinosa's struggling at the plate this Spring.
Danny Espinosa hasn't played in a Grapefruit League game since March 20th. He's not going to be playing in Viera, Florida's Space Coast Stadium, as a few reports noted this week.
MLB.com's Bill Ladson reported that the problem is an issue with the batter's eye in the Nationals' Spring home.
"[H]e can't see the ball well at Space Coast Stadium, according to manager Dusty Baker," Ladson wrote.
