A season of milestones for Ryan Zimmerman

Will today be the day Ryan Zimmerman the Washington Nationals third baseman drives in his 499th and 500th career RBI? If not today against the Chicago Cubs it will likely happened before Zimmerman and the Nats play their home opener against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, April 12th.

For Zimmerman the 2012 season should be a season where he surpasses some nice milestones. The next milestone for the 27 year-old Zimmerman will be when he scores his 500th career run. Currently he has scored 488.

Shortly after Zimmerman scores his 500th run he will be approaching career base hit number 1,000, currently Zimmerman has 948 career hits. If Zimmerman stays healthy through the entire season he should hit his 150th career home run this season he currently has hit 128 career home runs. If Zimmerman who currently has hit 214 doubles during his career has a typical productive season he should hit his 250th career double before the end of the season.
