Ryan Zimmerman turns part-time role into a full-time advantage for Nationals

“And that was the plan. I know where I’m at in my career. As much as I want to play every day, it’s not the best for me, and, honestly, I don’t think it’s best for the team,” Zimmerman said. “So I didn’t now what kind of numbers I would put up. Obviously we’re still a long ways to go, so I still have work to do. But I’ve been happy with the way I’ve started, and hopefully I can continue that. You don’t get any awards for having, I guess, a good first two months. But, yeah, it’s been good. My body has felt great.”
