“Going to Oakland, Jed will miss the tiny ball park in Minute Maid. He was on pace to rack up around 30 HRs before getting injured, now in Oakland you can hope he reaches that 15 number again. The Coliseum is known as a pitchers park, but somehow the A's offense was one of the tops in baseball in 2012.”

“Zimmerman complained of his shoulder all season, yet still managed to knock out 25 HRs and 96 RBIs. He should only continue to improve as he is one of the new rising stars of the league. Zimmerman is a solid bat on your fantasy roster who can produce nightly.”

 

“He?s never quite reached his full potential, but is a statline of 25+ homers, near-.300 average, 90+ runs and near-100 R.B.I. such a bad thing?”

 

“Top 5 fantasy offensive value from final week of June on (90 games)”

 

“Zimmerman has the ability to be the second best 3rd Baseman in the league, but to do so he needs to remain healthy for a full season. He's only been able to do that in 2009 and 2010.”

 

“body seems to be breaking down on him making him an injury risk this season”
