Q&A: Zimmerman talks Nats’ moves
From a personal standpoint, Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a season to remember in 2009, leading the team in RBIs with 106 and making his first All-Star appearance.
A little more than a month after the season ended, Zimmerman, 25, won his first Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards.
But reaching personal goals is not enough for Zimmerman in 2010. He wants the Nationals to have a winning percentage over .500 and reach the postseason for the first time in their history.
Will Zimmerman get his wishes? Before playing golf in Florida on Sunday afternoon, Zimmerman expressed his opinion on the topics in an interview with MLB.com.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?" the host asks after greeting him, pondering Zimmerman's face for several seconds. "You look so familiar. College, maybe?"
"No, I don't think so," Zimmerman says, shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders.
"OK. I'll think of it," the host says as he leads the Nationals' All-Star third baseman to his table.

Nats’ Zimmerman tabbed as National League reserve for All-Star game
Ryan Zimmerman had no real plans for Major League Baseball's All-Star break next week. His hometown of Virginia Beach is just a short car ride away, after all.
