The fact of the matter is Zimmerman and his plantar fasciitis has been an ongoing disruption to this club for WAAAAAAAY TOO LONG. And if our ownership is asinine enough to bring Zimmerman back, it certainly would not be for more than a minor league contract.
Zimmerman misses over 100 games a year, yet some on this board want to bring him back???????? I can only guess you’re a family member or an employee of F.H. FURR heating and air conditioning.
LETS GO NAAAAAAAAATS!!!
I think the issue is different than you realise. The negative comments about Him are mostly about the injury. However, when he's healthy he plays well; -and right now he's healthy! The other thing is that Zimmerman is a lifetime National. He's the closest thing we have to a Derek Jeter, a Cal Ripken, Dan Marino, etc. He's been on the same team his entire career. Also, we're in a playoff race, so we should focus on this year. Zimmerman had a big game last night, and he hit a clutch double in the 7 run comeback vs Mets. Yes, Zimmerman's injuries are annoying, and we can't rely on him for an entire season. He'll be gone soon, and you can focus on someone else. How about we send him off on a high note like John Elway, or George Costanza?
