which is going to be the worst contract for the Nats: Jason Werth or Ryan Zimmerman? Werth was a bad signing, Zim is a much better player...but that was a ton of money. Zim stays banged up.

In the long run, Werth, but lets be honest, nobody should expect him to be here for 7 years. As far as immediate, Ryan Zimmerman. The guy has been consistently injured and has shown no signs of getting away from them.

Throw in now the production drop in defense and offense. I mean at least when Werth was slumping his D was good, Zimmerman isn't even doing that.

With who we have in the minors, I thought it would have been a good choice to try and trade Zimmerman.

Zim is still probably the best defensive 3rd basemen in the league. A few errors don't mitigate the overall quality of his play defensively.

And seriously... they're not even a third of the way into the season and you're already calling it a "production drop". Really?

Zim is a top notch defensive player at 3rd, ill give you that, but check out the hitting and his rank alongside his peers at his position:

2012 Regular Season MLB Baseball Batting Statistics - MLB Third Basemen - Major League Baseball - ESPN

its pretty poor, especially his BA and SLG %s. I expect his production at least in the top 10 at 3rd, he's being paid as a top 5 3rd-bman.

Yes, I am. We paid him BIG money and he's done NOTHING to show for it. We complained about Werth last season, Zimmerman deserves the same scrutiny.
