Roy Halladay’s velocity could be a concern

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  March 07, 2013

Via DC Pro Sports Report  |  March 05, 2013
The Washington Nationals are 4-3 with 2 ties through 9 Grapefruit League games.  The Nats are enjoying an off-season program that hints at more a relaxed, fine tuning style of play, than competitive, pressure packed camp.  Most of the Nats rosters spots are pre-determined, making spring training less pressurized.  Even though 2011 6th overall pick Anthony Rendon is having an incredible...
