Column: Nats need to be careful not to follow Rays model too closely

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The vibe around Nationals camp through this first week of spring training is positive, and understandably so. With so many fresh new faces on the field, in the coaches’ room and in the front office, why wouldn’t everyone be optimistic?
This is a decidedly different tone than was present one yea…
