Or, you can feel free to insert your own photo caption [here]. And so, Ryan Zimmerman began his new life as a starting first baseman by working out at first base in camp on Monday, complete with Matt Williams showing him how to field a grounder. Photo above via @Nationals by @DonaldMiralle. Here's Williams on Zimmerman at first:
"He’s played it some but not a lot. He did a lot of work last year at the position, but the game reps are not really there for him. So as part of his initial introduction into this spring, we’re just going over the basics of footwork, of positioning, of his thoughts on where he would like to play, what he can and can’t do, what he feels comfortable with."
