Aramis Ramirez
Everyone needs backup players regardless of the sport or league. It’s just as true in fantasy baseball as it is anywhere else. These players may not be the studs that we need to propel us to the fantasy promised land but they are important nonetheless. That’s why you need to keep your eyes on players like Aramis Ramirez this coming year. Ramirez is a third baseman for the Brewers with a lot of miles on him. He’s not a great third baseman in fantasy baseball for money. He’s not even one of the top ten at his position. However he’s going to be on a roster this year and that makes him valuable in fantasy baseball for money. Ramirez is the perfect player for teams looking for an average player at the third baseman position. He does pretty much everything except for steal bases and it’s that versatility that will boost his stock at FanDuel.com.
How much it will boost his stock is the question. Ramirez as stated before is probably going to be relegated to a backup position on your fantasy baseball for money team. That ought to put him somewhere after the first seven or eight rounds. Starting around round eight of the draft is when backups start to go and that’s when you can expect Ramirez to show up. In actuality he’ll probably go in the ninth round of the draft but it never hurts to get a good backup early. The move to the Brewers has revitalized his career and he’s expected to duplicate last year’s numbers this season. His health is something of a concern but it’s not a deal breaker. Throw Ramirez into any lineup as a stopgap batting average player. His biggest positive is that he can maintain a .300 batting average for an entire season.
