Alexei Ramirez just misses second home run
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/6/2013) White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez just missed hitting his second home run of the season Monday at Kansas City.
In the seventh inning, Ramirez sent a fly ball into the seats beyond the left field wall at Kauffman Stadium, which was ruled a foul. White Sox manager Robin Ventura came out to argue Ramirez's home run went right of the foul pole, so the umpires went to review it. After further review, the call wasn't overturned and a few pitches later Ramirez struck out.
He did manage to get a bit of redemption in the ninth inning, tying the game at 1 on an infield single. It was his only hit in four at-bats, and struck out twice. Ramirez is batting .267 (8 for 30) with two RBI in his last eight games. His homerless streak has reached 28 games.

Alexei Ramirez still has nice potential
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer (3/27/2013) When the discussion of 15 home run/15 steal candidates comes up, one name left off a lot of lists is White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez, the 233rd player taken in H2H drafts. Granted, he is left off because he has never accomplished the feat, but he has come close enough to at least merit inclusion in the list of potentials.
Ramirez, 31, is more of a lock for 15 homers (he's done it three times) than steals (he's done it once), but he plays a weak position, has a career .276 average, and can hit about 30 doubles in a good year. He's serviceable, at worst. At best, he can flirt with 20/20 and hit .280 at the shortstop posiion. I'm not going out of my way to draft him, but if MI is looking thin and he's sitting there late, there are far worse options I could consider.

Ramirez said his sore wrist improved during the offseason and he's fired up for the 2013 season. “I feel like 2007,” Ramirez said. “I feel like I just arrived. I feel like a rookie. I feel strong and I feel hungry to keep doing what I did when I got here and continue doing it this coming year.”
