Aramis Ramirez

[Clapp]

Aramis getting the day off tomorrow, Fox will start at 3rd. Nothing wrong with Aramis, Lou just wants to give him some rest, which I agree with.

Very good chance of that. I hope he continues to rake.

I'd say, at this point, that Aramis, Santo, and Stan Hack are bunched up pretty evenly in the "great Cub 3rd basemen" debate. I think it's in Aramis to break away from the pack (although Santo was a <i>much</i> better fielder).

Aramis makes me wanna give him an Izturis cyclone special.

It's been great to watch his defense progress. He was a liability when he first arrived, but has gotten much better. And I'm sure having DLee over there scopping up everything has helped as well.

Hmm... I'm afraid to bench him on my fantasy team for the day in case Lou changes his mind. He's batting .375 against Ortiz.
