Aramis Ramirez: Poised for big year in 07

Aramis Ramirez homered, doubled and drove in three runs in Tuesday’s win over the Royals. He finished the day batting .375 with six jacks and 17 RBIs for the spring. Ramirez has been a streaky hitter throughout his career, as exemplified by last year’s numbers before (.801 OPS) and after the All-Star break (1.041 OPS), but there’s no questioning his talent. With the Cubs’ lineup bolstered by the addition of Alfonso Soriano and the return of a healthy Derrek Lee, this could be the year the 28-year-old third baseman emerges as a bona fide fantasy monster.
