Johnson Taking Care Not To Overwork Nationals 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Mar 22, 2013 11:45 am

Davey Johnson doesn't believe players need a ton of at-bats to get ready for the season.


He has taken care not to overwork his team this spring, especially with a longer exhibition season because of the World Baseball Classic.


"That's the way Davey likes to run his camp," Adam LaRoche said. "He understands the length of the regular season, and the last thing he wants is guys to be physically or mentally tired when you start from day one. He wants guys as fresh as can be. He's been around a long time and he doesn't panic early.

"Usually about now, he'll crank it up and we'll start playing two or three games in a row. He's pretty laid-back. He likes to take care of his guys."
