Newsbreakers
August 11, 2009
Alexei Ramirez carried the Sox in tonight's 3-1 win at Seattle, as he went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer off David Aardsma.
Our View:
Ramirez hit a homer in two of his last three games, and has 13 for the season. This is encouraging, as he only swatted one homer in the entire month of July.
August 9, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 8-4 loss to Cleveland at U.S. Cellular Field. He hit two singles and a solo homer off David Huff.
Our View:
Ramirez collected three hits in a game for the first time since July 1, which was also against Cleveland. He snapped a 21-game drought without a homer as well, and has 12 for the season.
August 7, 2009
Alexei Ramirez will return to the White Sox lineup on Friday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Ramirez has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury.
Our View:
Ramirez is hitting in the eight spot tonight, and he figures to stay near the bottom of the order unless he gets hot again. Alexei has been a fantasy disappointment this season, but his .273 average is still average.
August 6, 2009
The Chicago Tribune reports that shortstop Alexei Ramirez (ankle) could return to the lineup as soon as Friday.
Our View:
Ramirez has already missed six consecutive games, but appears to be on the mend. Upon his return he will be dropped to a lowe, "more RBI" spot in the order. Mostly due to the emergence of Gordon Beckham in the number two hole.
August 5, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, Alexei Ramirez will miss his sixth consecutive game on Wednesday.
Our View:
Jayson Nix continues to play short while Ramirez is nursing a right ankle sprain. He should still be considered day-to-day, and has avoided the DL so far, but if he doesn't improve soon he may be headed there.
August 4, 2009
Alexei Ramirez (ankle) will miss his fifth consecutive game tonight, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
He is still day-to-day. His most likely return date is probably this weekend when the White Sox take on the Indians. Jayson Nix is again starting in his spot tonight.
August 1, 2009
Shortstop Alexei Ramirez (ankle) is unlikely to return to the White Sox lineup this weekend, the Arlington Daily Herald reports. He could be back next Tuesday.
Our View:
Jayson Nix should continue to start at shortstop over the next couple days. Fantasy owners should adjust their lineups accordingly.
July 30, 2009
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that White Sox' shortstop Alexei Ramirez could return to the lineup as soon as Sunday. Ramirez has been out since Wednesday night with a sprained right ankle.
Our View:
The injury isn't as bad as originally thought, and Ramirez is recovering nicely. Check back on Sunday for an update on his condidtion, but if he isn't ready by then he should be back early next week.
July 30, 2009
After leaving Wednesday night's game with a sprained right ankle, Alexei Ramirez is expected to miss just a few games, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The injury looked very bad, but Ramirez was able to walk off mostly under his own power. He probably won't play this weekend, but plan on him being ready to go early next week.
July 29, 2009
Alexei Ramirez exited tonight's battle at Minnesota in the seventh inning with a right ankle injury, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
His right leg got caught in the dirt while trying to foil a double play on the basepaths. He was assisted off the field by two trainers in obvious pain, and his injury status is yet to be updated.
July 23, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in the White Sox's 5-0 win in which Mark Buehrle tossed a perfect game.
Our View:
Ramirez has been red hot in July, hitting over .350, and is salvaging what seemed to be a lost season at the beginning of the year. He has 30 total bases in just 57 at-bats this month.
July 22, 2009
Alexei Ramirez led the Sox in tonight's 4-3 win over the Rays at U.S. Cellular Field, as he went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. He hit a single and his first triple of the season.
Our View:
Ramirez has a hit in three straight games, and is batting .351 this month - but has now gone 11 straight games without a homer.
July 3, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, Alexei Ramirez is out of the lineup for the second consecutive night due to a bruise on the tip of his middle finger.
Our View:
The injury doesn't sound too serious, so expect Ramirez to be back shortly. Jayson Nix will take his place at short in the meantime.
July 2, 2009
Alexei Ramirez is not in Chicago's lineup for tonight's game at Kansas City while nursing an injured right middle finger, according to the Chicago Tribune. He hurt his finger in Wednesday's battle with the Indians.
Our View:
It was expected that he would miss the game due to swelling. Consider him day-to-day. Jayson Nix will cover shortstop in his place tonight.
July 1, 2009
Alexei Ramirez will receive X-rays after injuring his right middle finger in tonight's battle at Cleveland, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Our View:
He is dealing with swelling, and is likely to miss Thursday's game. We will keep you posted when his status is updated.
June 29, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was forced out of tonight's battle at Cleveland after being struck in the head by a Chris Perez pitch, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
He was able to walk off the field without assistance, and believes he will be ready to play Tuesday. We will keep you posted on his status.
June 28, 2009
Alexei Ramirez had a big day at the dish for the White Sox on Sunday as they blanked the cross-town rival Cubs 6-0. Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a run scored, and two RBI.
Our View:
Ramirez is heating up, and he is starting to show the ability that made him one of the fastest rising players before the season started. If he stays hot, he has the ability to be one of the better fantasy plays on the infield, so if you have him don't move him.
June 20, 2009
Alexei Ramirez pounded the ball for the White Sox on Saturday as his team beat the Reds 10-8 in interleague play. Ramirez went 4-for-5 with a double, a run, and four RBI in the game.
Our View:
Ramirez has largely been a fantasy disappointment so far this season, but it looks like he is starting to turn things around. The power is starting to show up, so now might be a good time to trade for him while his stock is still relatively low.
June 18, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was productive in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the cross-town rival Cubs at Wrigley Field, as he went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer off Carlos Zambrano. His other knock was a single.
Our View:
Ramirez is finally generating power following a slow start to the season, as he hit a homer in back-to-back games, and has four homers in June.
June 8, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 6-1 win over the Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field in the bottom half of their doubleheader. He hit a homer and a pair of singles.
Our View:
The rising star is hot as he has seven hits (two homers) and four RBI over his last three games. This is encouraging as he only swatted two homers in the entire month of May.
June 7, 2009
Alexei Ramirez hit a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Indians. He has two hits in five trips.
Our View:
Ramirez got off to a dreadful start this season and he's still trying to put it all together in 2009. He has four homers and a .247 average and if he doesn't pick it up soon will become one of the bigger fantasy busts of the year.
May 30, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win at Kansas City. All three of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
Ramirez has three hits in back-to-back games, and is playing well now following a disappointing start to the season. He raised his batting average to .261.
May 29, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-6 with a pair of RBI in the White Sox 11-2 win over the Royals on Friday.
Our View:
Ramirez got off to a dreadful start this season, but has come alive lately. He's raised his average from .213 to .250 over the last seven games.
May 25, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was 4-for-7 with three RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base as Chicago defeated the Angels 17-3 on Monday.
Our View:
The Cuban Missile is showing signs of breaking out of his slump as he has gone 8-for-17 in his last four games. He has scored six times and picked up six RBI while hitting two home runs over that stretch. There is still plenty of time in the season for him to at least match his production from last season.
May 23, 2009
Alexei Ramirez hit a home run for his second-straight game on Saturday, belting a two-run shot off Pittsburgh's Ross Ohlendorf in the fifth inning.
Our View:
Just as important, Ramirez was placed at the No. 2 spot in Chicago's lineup for the second time in the past three games. He's been awful until now but could finally be past his struggles and ready to cash in at either middle infield spot for owners that have stuck with him.
May 22, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was 2-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base as the White Sox beat the Pirates 2-0 on Friday.
Our View:
The struggling shortstop has five hits in his last five games. This was just his second home run of the season and hopefully there are many more to follow. However, his April and May splits are equally pathetic.
May 13, 2009
Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-0 loss at Cleveland. All three of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
The Sox only mustered seven hits as a team, none of them for extra bases. Ramirez was in need of a solid day at the plate, as he only had two hits over his previous 16 at-bats.
May 8, 2009
Manager Ozzie Guillen commented on Alexei Ramirez, who remains out of the starting lineup, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Guillen said, "I am not putting this kid on the bench because I am crazy or we are losing. I put him on the bench because all my coaching staff was thinking the same way I was thinking. He is going to be back in the lineup. If I see him the same way, we will make a drastic decision and see what happens."
Our View:
Ramirez only launched one homer over 90 at-bats this season, with a poor .211 average and .255 OBP. Jayson Nix has been performing well as his replacement at shortstop, and Ramirez should remain held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.
May 6, 2009
Updating an earlier report, not only will Alexei Ramirez be on the bench tonight, he might actually find himself there for a couple of days, according to the Chicago Tribune. "It's not a rest," Guillen said.
Our View:
Ramirez was replaced tonight by Jayson Nix as Alexei has fallen to a .211/.255/.278 line in his 90 at-bats. Ramirez, a 20/20 darling this preseason, has swiped six bags but he has only gone deep a single time. Now is a great time to buy low on the free swinger.
May 6, 2009
Alexei Ramirez is off to a poor start this season, and he will ride the pine in tonight's game against Detroit, according to the Chicago Tribune. Jayson Nix will start at shortstop in his place.
Our View:
Ramirez registered a hit in three straight games, but holds an anemic .211 average over 90 at-bats, with just one homer. Ramirez still managed to swipe six bases, and is worth targeting if you can acquire him for a bargain price.
April 29, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was 2-for-2 with a stolen base, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored as the White Sox beat the Mariners 6-3 on Wednesday.
Our View:
Ramirez has raised his batting average nearly 100 points in his last nine games. He also has all five of his stolen bases in that stretch and it appears he is a legit 20 to 30 stolen base threat as long as he is hitting at the bottom of the order.
April 25, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a grand slam, five RBI, and a run scored as the White Sox beat the Blue Jays 10-2 on Saturday.
Our View:
Ramirez has had a poor April as he entered the game with just three RBI and no home runs. He is currently hitting eighth in the White Sox order but he should climb up in the order as soon as he gets going.
April 11, 2009
Alexei Ramirez got his first two hits of the season on Saturday as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Chicago's 8-0 win over the Twins.
Our View:
Ramirez was a second half wonder last season, and could be fantasy gold this season if he repeats those stats. He has extra upside as he qualifies for second, shortstop and outfield.
March 30, 2009
The Chicago Tribune reports that Alexei Ramirez injured his knee while sliding into home during Monday's spring training game. He limped off the field and suffered an apparent cut on the knee.
Our View:
His current status is unknown but we will update you once he is diagnosed. Ramirez holds steep value as a second base-eligible infielder who will be playing shortstop this season. A bruised knee could limit him both in the field and on the base paths, as well as at the dish.
March 14, 2009
Alexei Ramirez was 2-for-3 with his third double of the spring as the White Sox defeated the Rangers on Saturday. He also notched his second stolen base of the spring.
Our View:
Ramirez is hitting .375 and seems to be adjusting to the shortstop role just fine. We would love to see him improve on his K/BB ratio, but aside from that there's a ton to like about his game. He will be eligible at both second base and shortstop this season.
