I'll echo what Palmtana said (although I don't think Chapman is, overall, a better offensive player) Ramirez gets a bump over Chapman for the following reasons:
- e 13 versus e23
- Can't get injured
- 8 BPHRs both ways. Guys are priced for their best park. Yes, if you use him in AT&T he's not worth the money.
- Higher OB v RHP
- More of his hits are XB. Not that he has more TBs, just that his hits are worth more.
- He'll steal some bases.
- Ramirez has 0 DPs on his card, Chapman has 19 and 17.
It all adds up two a 2 mil difference.
He shouldn't hit for a high average with that card. In the average park, his hits/108 is only .193 v RHP, .244 v LHP. He should get on base and hit some XBH/HRs and, if you have some OB ahead of him, drive in runs with the XB hits.
