Fantasy Analysis
Ransom enjoyed a solid run at the end of April and saw additional playing time while Ryan Roberts struggled at the plate. But he has slumped mightily recently and posted just one RBI since May 8. He has also amassed 16 strikeouts in 30 at-bats during the second month of the season. Fantasy owners should drop him in all formats while he's off a major-league roster. (Updated 05/21/2012).
