(by Jeff Bergin) The 2009 season was slated as a make or break year for Ryan Zimmerman. As ESPN fantasy analysis wrote, "Zimmerman should be healthy for 2009 and ready to resume numbers in the 20-HR, 90-RBIs range, but fantasy owners would like to know what his ceiling is." After posting numbers in the .290/20/90 area for two seasons, many pegged Zimm as a low power yet productive, streaky hitter whose plus defense is where you get your real benefit. Meaning, in fantasy baseball, there is little separating him and Garret Atkins and miles separating him from Evan Longoria and David Wright.

Balester unravels against Brewers

Via Washington Times  |  August 25, 2009
The reason Collin Balester still factors prominently in the Washington Nationals' plans for the future is because he has the kind of as-of-yet unrefined pitching talent scouts pounce on and managers dream about. The mid-90s fastball, the big-breaking curveball and Balester's 6-foot-5 frame are such well-worn staples of the pitching pedigree, it seems impossible for talent...
