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:

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.
