08:09 AM ET 04.18 | Since January, when Gio Gonzalez signed in Washington, four more starting pitchers with between one and three years of service time have signed extensions lasting at least four years. Monday, Madison Bumgarner became the latest, signing a five-year, $35 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. The strategy of locking up an accomplished, young pitcher at a controlled price, before his salary has the chance to skyrocket through arbitration, could soon circle back to the Nationals. The Nationals have dabbled in preliminary conversations with the agent for right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The conversations have not reached Zimmermann, but he would be open to a long-term deal.

They looked good during Spring Training. I'm not surprised by this success.

I just hope that they start to get some hitters that can stay healthy. Their pitchers can only do so much.

Lock him up! Hopefully we can get him more run support when he's on the mound. That may help persuade on top of a dollar or two....
GO NATS!!!!
