Batting third for the first time in his career, Alexei Ramirez had a two-run homer and a two-run single in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Well, now it's obvious Ramirez should have been batting third all along; he'd have 20 homers now instead of two. Ramirez entered the game with just 29 RBI all season. He's been hitting for average and stealing bases, but the lack of power and poor play of the hitters around him has really held him back as a fantasy shortstop. Maybe it will help if he continues to bat third with Alex Rios gone.
