RYAN ZIMMERMAN RUMORS
Best Value Players At Each Position: 1992-2011, Part I
Last week, I wrote about what it would take for the Nationals to sign Ryan Zimmerman to a long-term contract, perhaps making him a National for life. Along the way, I looked at other long-term deals to see which, if any, made sense as a model for a new Nationals-Zimmerman agreement. One such contract was Evan Longoria‘s 6-year/$17.5 million deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. I...

Ryan Zimmerman: First Baseman of the Future
The Washington Nationals have never had exactly what they wanted at first base since they arrived in DC. Nick Johnson was perpetually injured, Dmitri Young had a single incredible bounce back year, and Adam Dunn was a left fielder until the Nats made him go to first base to make room for Josh Willingham. Dunn was also terrible defensively. Michael Morse did a great job there...

I don’t know about you, but I was surprised by that. And I spend a lot of time on the FanGraphs...

Should the Nationals start working on a long-term deal with Ryan Zimmerman?
Even though Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not scheduled to hit free agency until after the 2013 season, Mark Zuckerman of CSNWashington believes the team should learn from what happened with the Cardinals and Albert Pujols and start working on a deal now.
Zuckerman says that there's a lesson in all this. And the lesson is that “no matter how much we want to...

Here's Ryan Zimmerman cleaning out his locker with help from his dog...
So right there's a photo (via @heatherdownen) of Ryan Zimmerman and his dog Miley clearing out his cubby at Nationals Park on Monday. That's a whole lot of bobbleheads in the locker next to his.
Just wondering: On Mike Rizzo's offseason to-do list, where does signing Ryan Zimmerman to a long term deal rank among the other issues -- including, in no particular...

Ryan Zimmerman throwing motion becoming a real Nats problem
Ryan Zimmerman has gained a reputation as one of the best defensive third basemen in all of baseball ever since he entered the league in 2005. His slick glove-handling and rocket arm led to an NL Gold Glove award in 2009 and he should have won last year if it wasn’t for Scott Rolen (Reds) getting a career-achievement award. But his latest throwing motion is a cause for concern...
