Ramos back behind the plate

Wilson Ramos catches his first bullpen session since tearing his right ACL.
VIERA, Fla. -- It might not have looked like much -- 10 minutes spent catching pitches from left-hander Zach Duke -- but for Wilson Ramos, this morning's workout represented a major milestone on the long road back from major knee surgery.

Ramos caught a bullpen session for the first time since he tore the ACL in his right knee last May and emerged with a wide smile following the Nationals' first official workout of the spring.

"I was crazy to start playing again," he said. "Now I put my gear on, and I'm very happy for that. It was great to put it on. Now I feel like I'm on the team again. I'm back."

    Huge news! Another prediction, that's your Opening Day starting catcher in the photo above.

    Only caveat of course is that Wilson is 100% which I expect him to be.

    I hope Gio is clean, he was tested right after NewsTimes report. I for one hope he was clean, but I'm glad he was tested either way. I've said all along, if he was gonna miss game I'd rather it be sooner rather than later.
