Rotoworld:
GM Jim Bowden predicted the Nationals' new ballpark will slightly favor pitchers.
"There are a few times I've been there when the wind comes in from left field, swirls around a little and goes out to right-center" Bowden said. "Is that going to happen when the season starts? I don't know. But I know it's going to be more hitter-friendly than RFK. I also know it's going to be a pitcher's park. It's certainly not a Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Wrigley Field bandbox." We'll see. We're projecting it as though the park will play pretty neutral.
