Ivan Rodriguez, 39, remains the starting catcher for the Nationals. The 14-time All-Star started 102 games for the Nationals last year. Jesus Flores and Wilson Ramos will compete for time as a backup. "He's got a lot of baseball left," Jim Riggleman said. "Whoever wins that second spot is going to be incorporated into the lineup more and more as we go along. Whether it's Ramos and/or Flores, they're very talented guys."
