DL For Zimmerman

[love_that_reefer]

Nationals placed third baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 26, with a small labral tear in his left shoulder.
If Zimmerman wasn't willing to play through the injury now, then there's no guarantee things will be any better in 10 days or even 10 weeks. A course of action will probably be decided in the next few days. This leaves Aaron Boone as the Nationals' starter at third. Kory Casto can back him up for now, and Ronnie Belliard figures to be added to the mix once he comes off the disabled list.

This could hurt a possible long term deal for Zimmerman. Hopefully he can play a little bit longer when he comes back but if it doesn;t get any better, go to surgery ASAP and be ready for 2009.

This could also send the Nationals even further and further into the cellar of the N.L. East.

This hurts not only the Nationals, but the continuing development of his own personal game as well.

He's been struggling for a couple years now...this is definitely not good for the team or him. Personally, I kinda like him as a player, and I actually wish him a speedy recovery (as long as he doesn't kill the Mets)
