Mark Zuckerman has a feature on the spring training debuts of top prospects Chris Marrero and Michael Burgess (at the major league level). They didn’t waste any time making their presence known:
Summoned off the bench to pinch-hit in the seventh inning, Marrero and Burgess hit back-to-back doubles, drawing hefty rounds of applause from the crowd of 5,278 and earning praise from everyone wearing a Nationals uniform.
It’s nice to see the Nationals give some of their more promising prospects some exposure in the major league camp.

Brian — nice re-vamp of the site. I thought at first that I went to the wrong site. I like it.

Thanks. I was having an issue with getting the links back on the side so I tried a new template. I’d welcome any comments about the good/bad/ugly of the current design

I like it. It’s easy to read and every link I’d want and more is available.

Brian-
Svrluga said there will be cuts today, but that there were some after the split squad games already yesterday. Any news on who they were?

No releases from the team as of 10AM

Hey Brian,
Like the new layout a lot, but liked the old colors better. Can you change that? Thanks and keep up the good work

Brian,
You asked for feedback. I find the type hard to read almost blurry. The lettering doesn’t seem to be distinct or dark enough. The lighter toned letters are even more so. Just giving you my honest opinion.

Chris - Trying to figure out how to tweak the color
Scott - I bumped the font size % up a bit … any better?

Need to either bump up the type size more, or try a different font. It’s still hard to read. If the colors behind had greater contrast, that might be enough.

Still tweaking. Not sure it’s going to get any better than that without changing to a new template.

Brian, love your site. Not a huge fan of the redo, but that may just be that i’m a creature of habit. The dark gray/light gray isn’t enough of a contrast, imho.
That being said, I come to your site for your excellent info and will continue to do so.

Brian - thanks for the change - yes, it helps!
