Washington Nationals News & Notes: Davey Martinez on Nats’ shortstop job; Josh Bell & Jake Noll...

Davey Martinez talked earlier this week about Luis García, (who came up as a shortstop, but has played mostly second in the majors the last two years, mainly because that’s where the need was for the Washington Nationals), playing short this spring as well as second as he is fighting for a spot on the Opening Day roster with veterans like shortstop Alcides Escobar and second baseman César Hernández.

“We got Escobar over there [at short], we got César at second, so I want [García] to really focus on playing some shortstop, and then we’ll see how he does,” Martinez said.
