Jordan Zimmermann, Starting Pitcher, Washington Nationals

Jordan Zimmermann appears to be the forgotten man in the Washington Nationals’ organization.  Steven Strasburg and Drew Storen garner most of the attention in the Nats staff while Bryce Harper’s insane skill set has him making headlines across the country.  This could turn out to be the best situation of all for Zimmermann.

The 25-year-old right-hander was once Washington’s #1 prospect according to Baseball

  • glad I Read that I had him under those guys but can see what your saying.

    • Truth be told, I began to psyche myself up to try and sell Brandon Beachy this year. I spent about 3 hours perusing the notes I’ve taken on him in person in addition to clips and scouting reports and I just can’t do it. I just can’t over how bad his skills grade…

      Darvish is such a high risk, high reward play and I’m not sure I want a part of it. I watched him pitch twice during the WBC and have very little to go on. Call it whatever you want but Japanese pitchers struggling to adapt makes me believe that it’s too great a risk.

      I wish I was as lucky as Hellickson was last year.

      To be honest, I think Zimmermann represents a very safe play. I highly doubt you’ll get the ceiling that Beachy or Darvish could give but I can’t see him “busting” either. Obviously you need to take chances to win a league but I don’t feel strongly enough about guys like Beachy, Darvish, or Hellickson to take my chances HERE. Plenty of other areas that I’d rather roll the dice.
