BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Ramos possesses a true power threat from the C position on a team such as the Nationals with loads of offensive talent up and down the lineup. The issue with Ramos is staying healthy as he has not eclipsed the 100 games played mark as a professional since 2011 where he appeared in 113 games.
The BABIP of .266 has been disappointing for Ramos this year and his K% and BB% are not trending positively in either case. But Ramos brings a bat who hits in the middle of the lineup with protection around him. Recently Ramos is hitting .265 with 2 HR and 4 RBI with a 9% BB rate which doubles his season average to date.
The Nationals will need Ramos and the rest of their lineup to start backing up their pitching staff in order to make a late season push after giving the division lead away to the surging Mets. You could do a lot worse for your fantasy team.
