After Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki agreed to a seven-year contract
extension worth $134 million, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said Thursday that
he would love to sign a similar extension with the Nationals.

But Zimmerman, who has three years left on a five-year, $45 million contract,
wants to make sure the Nationals are winning on a consistent basis.

"[Signing an extension] is something I would want," Zimmermann said. "I made
it clear that I wouldn't mind playing in Washington for the rest of my
career. Obviously, we need to do something to prove that we are going to try
win championships here for the next 10 years. I have no doubt that the front
office will do that. It's one of the reasons I signed the first deal. It's
one reason I would sign a deal like Tulo signed."

Zimmerman, 26, and Tulowitzki were selected fourth and seventh, respectively,
in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft and have become friends.

"I'm really happy for Tulo," Zimmerman said. "We have known each other since
college. We played on Team USA together, we were drafted the same year and we
are pretty close friends. He is recognized as the best shortstop the last two
years.

"It's funny the deal happened. As soon as it happened, people asked me if
it's going to happen to me. We have similar careers, the numbers are almost
identical for our careers. If you asked me if I would take a similar deal, I
would say 99.9 percent that I would take that deal."

Zimmerman 表示他願意長留在華盛頓，不過前提是球隊必須展現更多的競爭力以及奪冠
的企圖心。

嗯...所以FO你們應該都聽到了吧...希望下禮拜的冬季會議事情能夠有所進展...。
