Nationals first-year manager Matt Williams and shortstop Ian Desmond discuss strategy during practice before a Grapefruit League game against the Tigers in Viera, Fla.

Williams, the Reds' Bryan Price and the Tigers' Brad Ausmus fit that description heading into the season. (Gregg Newton/special to the Washington Times)
