MLB.com Nationals reporter Bill Ladson looks at the battle at shortstop between Danny Espinosa, Stephen Drew and Trea TurnerWASHINGTON -- The Nationals' pitchers and catchers officially reported today, but there were already a handful of players working out at their Spring Training facility on Wednesday.
Position players are not required to arrive until Tuesday, but Clint Robinson, Reed Johnson, Trea Turner, Michael Taylor and Matt Skole were seen taken batting practice. All five players looked like they were in midseason form.
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez looked like he is ready to go. He started the day by playing catch on flat ground before signing autographs for fans.
