Well, the Nats are certainly not afraid to spend money.....

Your reaction implies the Nats overpaid and I don't know why you think that.

great deal, zimmerman's a stud in the prime of his career with ++ defensive value

He's got 2 years left on his current deal so this is a 6 year/$100 million extension. Should be interesting to see how this deal turns out. He needs to stay healthy, he hasn't been healthy the last two seasons and it's not like he's 32 years old, he's 27. By the time his contract runs out, he'll just be 35.
