Who? Wil Nieves blocks balls!
Note to Mike Rizzo:
Wil Nieves wants you to know it isn't necessary to go out and find another catcher for defensive purposes for next season. Wil says the Nats will do just fine in 2010 with he and Josh Bard, thank you very much. Via Nationals dot com:
'If you look at the games, count how many balls the pitchers throw in the dirt," Nieves said. "We block balls. I've had games where I blocked 10 to 15 balls. We have more opportunities to miss the ball because so many balls have been thrown in the dirt."
