Zimmermann, Martis Make Rotation

Jordan Zimmermann and Shairon Martis, both of whom played for the Senators in 2008 will the # 4 & 5 starting pitchers for the Nationals in 2009.

* Washington named Shairon Martis as its fourth starter; Martis will open the year with the big league club.

* Washington named Jordan Zimmermann as its fifth starter. The Nats will not need a fifth starter until April 19, and Zimmermann will be kept in the minors -- probably with Class AAA Syracuse -- until then.

Congrats to Jordan and Shairon! With some offensive support in Washington I am sure these two will be studs at the major league level!
