2003 Outlook: The only reason Zimmerman wasn't a top 10 draft pick in 2003 was that AWBL Captains questioned his effort in key World Series games in 2002. Zimmerman can hit the ball a mile and surprisingly can hit for average. He is an average fielder, but he is an above average pitcher and holds the single season record for E.R.A. He is a veteran, and for that reason he should see quick playing time for Team Guidash. Once he proves again that he will try his best to help his team, he will be a permanent fixture in the lineup. With due playing time, he could hit 30 homeruns this year.

About David Zimmerman: Zimmerman is slow. Rarely gets on, but can hit an occisional home run. If not, its an almost guaranteed out. Can be effective as a pitcher, but other times can be rocked. An average fielder, better than some. Finalist in 2001 All-Star Homerun Derby despite poor hitting numbers all season. Great devotion, a true abassador of the AWBL.

2002 Outlook: Zimmerman is on a new team this year and is looking for respect. No one believes in Zim more than Zim himself. He feels that he is just as good a power hitter as anyone in the league. He also feels that he is the best pitcher in the league because of his record-low E.R.A. in 2001 (not many Innings Pitched). Zim is yet to prove either of these true over a long period of time. In order to be successful he has to prove he can get on base in clutch situations. He'll be used as a pitcher and needs to produce for his team. If he's as good as he thinks he is, could be a Cy Young contender.
