Fantasy Analysis
Monday's homer was Ramirez's first long fly in 14 games. It was his ninth homer of the season. Ramirez has spent most of May hitting third with Josh Willingham (back) on the DL. Ramirez is still hitting for a high average, but his power and run production has dropped since moving down in the lineup. It's of some concern, but as long as Ramirez is healthy and hitting, he needs to be starting in Fantasy leagues. (Updated 05/12/2008).
