Wilson Ramos (C, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: Wilson Ramos is just coming off of the disabled list and should be on your radar if you have a need behind the plate. In his first game back yesterday he went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. In his 4 game rehab assignment prior to returning Ramos went 7-for-16 (.438) with 2 HR and a whopping 9 RBIs. Ramos provides a solid BA, a low OBP, and a solid slugging percentage for a catcher. Ramos' best feature is that he has the power to put the ball in the bleachers. He had 16 HRs last season in just 287 ABs. He does not strike out at a high rate either and with his ability to put the bat on the ball and drive it far, he has the chance to have a few very productive months in the second half, especially considering the high powered Nationals offense he plays in. I would pick up Ramos if you don't have a guy that you can trust at catcher and at least trot him out there if he gets hot - he has the potential to easily be a top 10 catcher for the 2nd half.
