Zimmermann earns rotation spot
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann's outstanding spring has earned him a spot in the Nationals rotation, The Washington Times' Mark Zuckerman reported this morning. The 2007 second-round pick will make the jump from Double-A after going 15-5 with a 2.74 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 205 K's in 187 minor league innings over the past two seasons and posting a 3.14 ERA this spring. Nats manager Manny Acta said Zimmermann will be the team's No. 5 starter, and since they don't need a fifth starter until April 19, he'll likely begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse.
