This happens like every season the last ten years. Zim gets hot, hurts something, disappears for two months, then comes back and takes like 100 PAs to get his swing back.
If he wanted to start every day, he would be. He'd walk into Martinez' office and tell him to start him.
Its not a playoff team. Bell is finally starting to come around. Just enjoy this last little bit of Zim
That probably describes more like half of the last 10 seasons. He's had at least 4 really good full seasons in that time as well. Also, he had great full seasons in 2009, 2013, 2017.... so 2021 should be a good year!
I'm curious if he really doesn't want to play more. He's obviously the type of guy who will do what's best for the team, say the right things in public, and not want to undermine anyone, but would he really not want to be playing every day given how he's playing?
