The Zimmerman comparison is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It is a risk but Zimmerman never showed that underlying skill. Yeah it was only a year but he was a top prospect and you can't fake a 25 % k-bb rate. Injury is a risk and he had tj but then again any pitcher can get hurt.

Zimmerman's 2013 and 2014 (he signed his deal after 2015) were pretty similar to Corbin's 2018. Zimmerman actually had significantly more ML success than Corbin prior to monster FA deal, and they were similar ages when big deal was signed.
