Drafting Ramirez & Cabrera Means Third Base Eligibility
HOT CORNER: Neither Ramirez or Cabrera played a single game at third base last year, but they will be opening day third sackers this year.
The biggest news for sleepers at the third base position for the 2012 fantasy baseball season is actually two very well known players who didn’t play a single game at the hot corner last year and are therefore not eligible for your draft at third. They are Hanley Ramirez of the Miami Marlins and Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers. Don’t forget about them in your draft. While you likely can’t draft them at third, they will have qualified for third base after the first two weeks of the season. Like you needed any extra incentive to draft HanRam or Miggy?
So, leaving Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera out of the mix, here are our top fantasy baseball third basemen sleepers for 2012.

Aramis Is The Wrong Direction For Brewers
The Brewers signed Aramis Ramirez to a 3-year deal today to play 3rd and fill in the gap in offense that the departed Prince Fielder left via free agency. Although Fielder has yet to sign with another team, it’s all but a guarantee that the slugger will land somewhere other than Milwaukee for the next decade. By acquiring Ramirez, the Brewers upgrade their infield defense and...
Hanley Ramirez + Powerade = Viral Marketing
This had to have been created as a viral marketing scheme by Powerade, there is no way this is a national television commercial.
