5 years agoWashington Nationals first baseman Eric Thames has been dealing with a tight left calf this spring, but is expected to play this weekend. This season, Thames will split time at first base with Ryan Zimmerman and Howie Kendrick at first base. At 33 years old, Thames is actually the youngest of the three. Right now he is only a very deep league or NL-only option, but if injuries clear up playing time, look to snap him off waivers. He has averaged 30 home runs per 162 games in the last three years with Milwaukee.--Nathaniel Green
