Ryan Zimmerman contract negotiations with Nationals colored by comeback from injury – The Post
Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman is signed through through the 2013 season and he would like to sign a contract extension before then. I wouldn’t mind it either, but it isn’t going to happen this offseason. Zimmerman’s latest stint on the DL brought up the unappealing reality that his durability could be lacking as he has missed chunks of two seasons with injuries. That and the drafting of Anthony Rendon, another third baseman, means the Nats have the leverage to be a little cautious. No reason not to be, but that doesn’t mean it will be fun for the fanbase. Since I am just a fan, I would just sign Zimmerman now and get it out of the way. The Lerners have a $3 billion fortune, they can afford it.

Of course, I said the same thing about Adam Dunn, didn’t I?
