"Drew threw the ball great. ... Ultimately, it just came down to we had guys we had ahead of him. But it was not an easy decision, and Drew did pitch great."
The Washington Nationals are set to play an exhibition game against the Baltimore Orioles, with LHP Mitchell Parker starting. Parker will begin the season with Triple-A Rochester. The team is finalizing its roster, with Tres Barrera likely being the last position player cut. Joey Wiemer and Christian Franklin are expected to make the team as extra outfielders. In the bullpen, 11 relievers compete for eight spots, and Drew Smith was released despite strong performance. The Nationals lead MLB in Spring Training ERA but rank last in OPS.
