Fantasy Analysis
Ramirez has gotten off to another very slow start this season as his two RBI on Saturday were his first runs batted in during May. However, veteran has always been a slow starter over his career and usually heats up when the weather does. Last season he only had two home runs over his first 53 games and wound up with 26 to go along with 93 RBI and a .306 batting average. While Fantasy owners should exercise some patience with the 33-year-old, it might not be a bad idea to sit him down until he starts producing a bit more consistently. (Updated 05/20/2012).

As interleague play gets under way there are many matchups to break down. Our Scott White tells you who the best bets and biggest risks are in his Hit Parade for Week 7.
05/13/2012 17:51 Cubs avoid 3-game sweep by Brewers
Ian Stewart hit a solo homer and scored the go-ahead run on an error, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep by their division rivals.
05/12/2012 17:08 Maysonet's first slam boosts Brewers
Shaun Marcum pitched seven strong innings and Edwin Maysonet hit his first career grand slam Saturday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Aramis Ramirez had a bounce-back campaign with the bat last season as he was able to put up some solid numbers for the Cubs. While he hit just two homers in his first 53 games, he picked up the pace in June and ended up with 26 home runs and 93 RBI on the year. He increased his batting average from .241 in 2010 to .306 and he slugged a healthy .510. The 33-year-old signed with the Brewers in the offseason and will man the hot corner for the defending NL Central champions. With Ryan Braun possibly going to miss the first 50 games of 2012 due to a failed drug test, Ramirez will be counted on to pick up the slack, and will be even more valuable once Braun returns. There are few Fantasy third baseman out there who can put up consistent numbers like Ramirez, so consider him a solid option in mixed leagues on Draft Day, worthy of being taken in the middle rounds.
