But, like every other player an unhealthy Zimmerman is of marginal use to this or any team. This team especially needs to field healthy players because we have such a slim margin of error.<BR/><BR/>So who says SBF can't go on a rant.<BR/><BR/>PS Chris, the team is already paying the minor league player that would be called up $10-20K/ month so the cost is not even $2,400/game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-62903455618852482252008-06-02T06:49:00.000-04:002008-06-02T06:49:00.000-04:00The way Brandon Webb and Dan Haren pitched the pas...The way Brandon Webb and Dan Haren pitched the past two games, it seems unlikely that Zimmerman would have made any difference in the outcome. If he had gone out and flailed at pitches the way his mates were doing, there would have been a flood of criticism aimed at Manny for playing an injured star instead of sitting him and allowing the shoulder to heal. <BR/> Our (sadly, he is still OUR) GM apparently hasn't found a former Red in the Nats' (or any other team's) system who can fill Zimm's spot on the roster. Has the pipeline of ex-Reds finally run dry? <BR/> Two weeks ago, the GM said that we should start to see the hitting come around "by the weekend." Since that proclamation, we have suffered through two weekends of unmet expectations. Jimbo, please be more specific and tell us during WHICH weekend you were expecting this transformation. Sounds like more "spin" to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-77684731280125135572008-06-01T23:52:00.000-04:002008-06-01T23:52:00.000-04:00SBF, I'll try and track you down again at a game l...SBF, I'll try and track you down again at a game like I did back in April against the Braves with my roommate Mike.

Well...why not bring up new faces when someone is hurt? <BR/><BR/>Makes no sense. <BR/><BR/>Nice that Manny allowed Bergmann to complete the game the other night, eh?
