2007/Career Statistics & Game Log

Bio: started his career as an Indian in 1993. His best season was in 1999 with Cleveland when he hit 44 homeruns and knocked in 165 runs while hitting at a .333 clip. He has 470 career homers to date to go with a batting average of .314. While Manny is certainly a Hall of Fame player, he also brings a fun, good teammate side to his game. Most fans criticize Ramirez's rebutes against the medio and constant trade request, however I find it as simply Manny being Manny and that's all it'll ever be. As long as Manny is Manny in the batter's box as well, he's more than welcomed in Boston. Ramirez is a ten time all star and one time World Series MVP (2004).

Projected 2007 Statistics: .305, 35, 125, 100, 100

Fantasy Outlook: injuries tend to be a reason why Manny might get selected not in the top ten, but regardless he's another first round choice by most. He usually does miss some time, but even when he does he still hits over 30 homers and knocks in over 100 much like last season. No doubt he'll have a high OPS.
