BALLER MOVE: Target ~280
CURRENT ADP: 295
ANALYSIS: Wilson Ramos was able to stay relatively healthy last season, setting a new career-high in at-bats (475) and RBI (68). His power stayed roughly the same, but his batting average fell 28 points from 2014. Additionally, his strikeout rate went up and his walk rate down for the third season in a row.
Still, as a second catcher or bench piece, Ramos does has value to offer as a member of the explosive Nationals offense. A simple correction of last season's career-low BABIP of .256 back towards his career mark of .281 will elevate his entire profile. Driving in runs is the one area Ramos can be counted on, as he ranks ninth among catchers in RBI over the past two seasons, including last year's sixth place finish. Don't be afraid to grab Ramos late in deep leagues.
