Nats Add Another Boone<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
In Viera, a Boone family reunion<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
A real Boone for Nationals<\/b><\/a> – The Free Lance-Star<\/i>
The gang’s all here: Bret Boone joins his brother and father with the Washington Nationals<\/b><\/a> – Florida Today<\/i>
In case you were concerned that the Boone family was not as well represented as it could be with only Bob<\/span> (special assistant to the GM) and Aaron<\/span> (bench) worry no more. The Nationals signed Bret Boone, whose last baseball season was in 2005 to a minor league deal. Capital Punishment suggested a list<\/span><\/a> of other Boone’s in case the club doesn’t feel it has enough.<\/p>\n

Young Arrives, Ready for the Competition<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
THOM LOVERRO<\/span> – A career, a life rehabilitated<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Young will put up a fight for first<\/b><\/a> – The Free Lance-Star<\/i>
Dmitri Young<\/span> arrived at spring training yesterday and took a session in the cage. He is leaner than last year, having worked out since November too. In addition to a “friendly competition” with Nick Johnson<\/span> for the starting first base job, Young will try to steer the talented, but troubled Elijah Dukes<\/span> onto the right path.<\/p>\n

Also, LHP Odalis P\u00e9rez<\/span> (8-11, 5.57 ERA, 26 starts in 2006) was offered a contract for some reason.<\/p>\n

Patterson pleased with first session<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
RHP John Patterson<\/span> had a decent first throwing session yesterday. His mechanics and demeanor are said to be good.<\/p>\n

Nationals’ Johnny Estrada just one of the kids<\/b><\/a> – Florida Today<\/i>
Presumptive #2 catcher Johnny Estrada<\/span> says he is just a big kid. He makes a point to be fan-friendly, signing autographs even when he finds it inconvenient.<\/p>\n

Estrada had knee and elbow surgeries in the offseason after batting .278 in 120 games with Milwaukee last season.<\/p>\n

Running to get a head<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Tryouts for the racing presidents were held at RFK yesterday, fittingly on President’s Day. One guess which Nats blogger<\/span><\/a> was there too.<\/p>\n

SALLY SQUIRES<\/span> – Guess What Real Men Eat<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Lefty reliever Ray King is one of the athletes featured in this Lean Plate column. He reports to camp 23 lbs lighter.<\/p>\n
