The Nationals are at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex today for their last road game of spring training against the Atlanta Braves. They'll play a home game against the Orioles tomorrow afternoon, followed by an exhibition at Nationals Park against Baltimore on Saturday night.
Sounds like the team is going to announce its 25-man roster after the game today. General manager Jim Bowden said this morning there were some tough decisions and in particular cited two pitchers who he said deserve to be here but have minor-league options. That probably means John Lannan and Chris Schroder are heading to the minors -- no big surprise there. We'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, here is today's lineup:
SS Cristian Guzman
CF Lastings Milledge
3B Ryan Zimmerman
1B Nick Johnson
RF Austin Kearns
C Paul Lo Duca
LF Rob Mackowiak
2B Willie Harris
P Matt Chico
