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.

Aramis Ramirez: Solid Option At Third

Cubs 3B Aramis Ramirez drove in four runs during Friday's game against the Padres. He hit a two-run double in the fourth and a two-run homer in the fifth. The homer was his first of the spring. He is now 6-for-17 with one three runs, one double, one triple, one homer and five RBI in six spring games. Ramirez is a solid option in all leagues at the third-base position, especially since that Cubs lineup expects to be much better with the addition of Alfonso Soriano and the potential full year of health from Derek Lee. Last year was a great one and this one should be at least as good, we say.
