Belly up to the plate

The NATS signed Belliard to a minor league deal worth $750K today. This is great news to hear and should provide some insurance / motivation should Guzman revert to his previous performance. Belliard could also provide a little help at 1^st base because this back-up thing that continues to pushed by Ladson

Is Hogwash.

The NATS site also profiles Chico and the extra work that Schroder is doing and did during the off-season with Rijo. I do think there is a chance we will see Chico during the year. A left-handed strikeout pitcher is too hard to pass-up.
