He just stood there, clueless -- get him outta there.<br /><br />And very Lastly, It looks to me as if Zimm is slipping back to where he was before his shot -- he's slow to the ball again -- He needs another shot.NatsFanSinceStarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220565078095696610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-67583768155987575522012-08-26T20:40:27.203-04:002012-08-26T20:40:27.203-04:00Peric: Our best 1b after Laroche is Morse. next ...Peric: Our best 1b after Laroche is Morse. next year which do you prefer, a lousy leftfielder (morse) and a lousy 1B (Moore).

Is he locked down for next year? Career OPS of 891 versus injury-prone OPS of 830 for Zimmerman. Wright's OPS is projected to break 900. We need, absolutely must, have experienced bats next year. I don't believe this team has anyone with a career OPS above 900.DJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365250980039531291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-35686969433331854502012-08-26T16:15:19.488-04:002012-08-26T16:15:19.488-04:00Agreed Natsjack.

Zimmerman has had a good streak since the All-Star break, but he does not have a career OPS that would justify him being the building block for this team. He is also injury prone. There is no position player with a sufficiently high career OPS, that's the problem. Moving Zimmerman to first is the plan, I'm aware, but Rendon is not the solution for the hole at third. Wright may be someone to consider. Ramos is not certain to return. As someone mentioned earlier, ACL's are hard for catcher's to recover from. Most of the steals are on the pitchers this year, but offensively catcher has been a black hole. Bourn is probably not the best solution in the outfield, but the team could use an experienced bat there. Morse is not athetic enough for outfield. His natural position is DH in the American League or first base. He does not have the experience and OPS for the latter.DJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365250980039531291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-85307177634339354312012-08-26T16:05:56.439-04:002012-08-26T16:05:56.439-04:00Suddenly the Fillies have a good bullpen.

Ryan Zimmerman will likely be moving to first base if Morse doesn't. Why? Since you haven't been paying attention you might not have heard that the Nats drafted the top college hitter in over a decade named Anthony Rendon who projects as a gold glove third baseman.<br /><br />2. They are going with Ramos, Suzuki and Flores at catcher. They already traded for that offensive threat at catcher and his name is Wilson Ramos.<br /><br />3. They are not going to get Bourn. You're like all of the fans here who castigated Rizzo for NOT signing Carl Crawford to play left field. How does Rizzo look now? They aren't going for Bourn. If anything it will be someone young, with a high ceiling with years of team control say like Peter Borjous. It won't be over 30 Bourn. <br /><br />4. Zimmerman IS THEIR best hitter and advanced stats clearly show that! The problem is he has been injured and so not in the lineup consistently over the last three years. That's why he is moving to first base.perichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669200119049715758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-43676812875330665362012-08-26T15:54:53.462-04:002012-08-26T15:54:53.462-04:00Agree.
