Player Notes
July 27, 2008
Max Ramirez has been optioned to Double-A Frisco, according to the AP. The team activated pitcher Kevin Millwood from the DL as the adjoining move.

Our View:Gerald Laird has returned to action, and Ramirez was viewed as expendable as he only hit .233 over 43 at-bats with the Rangers.
June 25, 2008
Max Ramirez picked up the first two hits of his major league career and one of them was his first home run that led to a 3-2 Rangers victory over the Astros.

Our View:Ramirez was hitting .363 with 17 home runs for Double-A Frisco this season before being called up, so it's clear he can hit and he should be a nice bonus as a back up catcher for the club.
June 21, 2008
Catcher Max Ramirez will get his first major league start tomorrow, but it will at first base, according to the Dallas Morning News. Manager Ron Washington said he will play Ramirez at first, DH and catcher while Gerald Laird is on the DL, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia will get most of the starts behind the plate.

Our View:Ramirez's numbers at Double-A were insane. He is worth a pickup in AL-only play even though he's likely to get only a couple starts per week.
June 21, 2008
Max Ramirez has been recalled from Double-A Frisco, according to the AP. Gerald Laird has been placed on the DL due to his hamstring ailment, as a corresponding move.

Our View:Ramirez is a top catching prospect, and was leading the Texas League with a .363 average and 17 homers, but won't likely see much time with the Rangers behind starter Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
June 1, 2008
Max Ramirez hit his 14th home run of the season for Double-A Frisco on Sunday. He is now hitting .376-14-42 this season.

Our View:Ramirez continues to be an absolute monster at the plate. The real question is still whether he can remain at catcher as he moves up. At this point the answer is probably no, but he still has time to improve.
