Will the real Ryan Zimmerman please stand up?

.364/.408/.621.

That was Ryan Zimmerman's line from day 1 of the season up through his 30 game hit streak.

Then a few days ago, Keith Law "tweeted" about how Zimmerman has been struggling since the hit streak.

Well, here are the numbers through now, post-hit streak: .221/.329/.353.

So what is it Zimmerman?  Are you going to be great?  Or are you going to play below expectations (some expected huge things) as you did before this year?

The overall numbers this season are still really good.  A .293/.367/.489 line, and excellent defense at the hot corner.

But Zimmerman could have simply gotten hot during that streak, and now is regressing back to what he was prior to 2009.

Or, perhaps he is great, but simply slumping now.  Maybe he returns to early season form shortly.

Either way the Nationals have a good player.  Because the kind of defense he plays, combined with above-average hitting, will result in that.

But seriously, how good are you Ryan Zimmerman?
