this early in the season, a .226 average isn't that catastrophic. he WILL step it up. people are overreacting. it's like you're gonna completely throw out what he's done for us the past 2 years because of some measly early season slump. he'll hit .275 by the all star break, and finish around .285-.290, book it.
No "star" should ever be hitting .226 at this point unless they're great power hitter.
btw, w/o zimmerman we would be 3-17.
You can't call that a fact. He's the #3 hitter and has left WAY too many people on-base this season. You can't assume that everyone else would have done the same.
