A rough outing indeed for Zimmermann, however he received strong run support and was able to escape the game without a loss and the Nationals were able to win in the ninth inning. All things considered Zimmermann has had a terrific season, owning a 9-3 record to go along with a 2.44 ERA and 67 strikeouts.","date":"Sat Jun 15"},"fullName":"Jordan Zimmermann","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Though his ERA dropped by a near-quarter run, Zimmermann's second full season following Tommy John surgery was roughly the equivalent of his first. The primary difference was a larger workload; he amassed 195 2/3 innings following 161 1/3 in 2011. Zimmermann did, however, look the part of a fantasy ace for four months, 19 of his first 21 games resulting in quality starts with a 2.28 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Could it be that he merely tired late in the year, his first as a full-time starter? Perhaps, and his drafting owners will be banking upon that chance that he'll be more up to the task in 2013. Even as a No. 2 or 3 starter in a rotisserie league, though, Zimmermann's combination of elite control (1.98 walks per nine in 2012, 11th-best) and command (3.56 K's per walk, 22nd) makes him a low-risk choice.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.2,"playerRater15DAY":4.2,"positionRank":9}
