Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Ryan Zimmerman is consistently called one of the best and yet most underrated third basemen in the game. Nothing could be more telling of that than his batting line this year:
142 G, 161 H, 85 R, 25 HR, 85 RBI, 4 SB, .307 BA, .899 OPS
Out of the 5 basic fantasy categories, he definitely shines in terms of homers and average, but runs scored, RBI and stolen base numbers are not entirely impressive. However, looking deeper at his metrics, Zimm Zimm ranked 13th in OBP, 18th in slugging and16th in the majors in OPS. Amongst third basemen, he’s even better, ranking first in OBP, 2nd in slugging and 2nd in OPS (to Adrian Beltre, in both instances).
A knock on Zimmerman’s 2010 season was his seeming lack of production in terms of runs scored and RBI. But if you look at a few players with and OPS around him, you’ll see that they all had plenty more opportunities hitting with men on base than Zimm did.
Zimmerman: 283 PA with men on
David Ortiz (.899 OPS): 324 PA
Adrian Gonzalez (.904 OPS): 319 PA
Adam Dunn (.892 OPS): 314 PA
Added to this is that with men on, Zimmerman hit .335. Hopefully next year, with more help in front of him – a better year from a less distracted Nyjer Morgan, highly touted prospects Danny Espinosa and Ian Desmond – Zimmerman will be able to capitalize on those chances.
Skeptics Say: Despite a career .839 OPS, Zimmerman has only had two seasons of over 100 RBI and only two seasons scoring above 95 runs. While he has hit at least 20 home runs 4 times, Zimmerman hasn't produced at the same clip (fantasy-wise, anyway) as his similarly-touted third base contemporaries. As I will get to in the peer comparison section, Zimmerman is often compared with the David Wrights, Alex Rodriguezs and Evan Longorias of the world, but has really only turned in two seasons that could compare to what has become the norm for other elite third basemen in the game.
Projection: The Nats have been getting better for a couple years now, and I think Zimmerman's numbers improve with them.
98 R, 30 HR, 110 RBI, 2 SB, .305 BA
