BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: He's still going... Ryan Zimmerman has always been a productive hitter, he just hasn't always been healthy. Zimmerman hasn't played close to a full season since 2013, totaling 179 games over a three-year span. In every season that Zimmerman made more than 600 plate appearances, he hit at least 20 HR and drove in 85 runs or more in all but one of those seasons. Simply put: when he plays, he plays well.
Zimmerman's numbers for April were not inspiring (.219/.301/.301, 1 HR, 7 RBI). May has been a different story, as he has gone 7-for-18 in the past four games. Four of those hits were doubles, providing hope that those line drives and fly balls will start going over the fence soon. Given his past success, it's surprising that Zimmerman's ownership is so low. Injuries are certainly a potential concern, but for the time being he belongs on fantasy rosters in nearly every league.
