Nationals second baseman Danny Espinona is doing his best this spring to make me believe his torn rotator cuff won't be a problem. Through 21 spring games, Espinosa is batting .317 (19 for 60) with three doubles and five RBI. He's also hitting .297 (11 for 37) against right-handed pitchers, which has been a problem for him in the past.
Yet, I'm still skeptical Espinosa will last over the long season. He said he feels stronger now than he has in the past and his numbers are proving it. But I still worried he might wear down as the season progresses. If Espinosa dealt with this injury over an entire season in the past, then we would have a better idea of how he might deal with the injury. But the fact we don't have that history concerns me.
Espinosa continues to be a late-round Fantasy option despite a productive spring.
