SALEM

Managers and coaches in the Carolina League are charged with teaching their players how to play baseball.

On Monday and Tuesday night, members of the Salem Avalanche and Potomac Nationals got a little "show" to go along with the tell.

Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was on hand at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium, technically on rehab assignment to get back in game shape after injuring his shoulder.

But it didn't hurt a bit for the denizens of both dugouts to see that this guy with the big-league contract scrambled up the line on every ground ball as if his next meal depended on it.
