Central division crown by a sizeable margin, the Chicago Cubs limped to a deflating 83-78 mark in 2009. There were a number of reasons for the downturn, outside of the usual hocus-pocus about goats and an overeager fan with a questionable taste for lime green turtlenecks.Aramis Ramirez missed [...] http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/644986 644986 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 8:04:01 EDT fangraphs.com 4 days 3 hours 9 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/644986 CHICAGO -- The Cubs are trying hard to dump the perennially malcontented Milton Bradley, as it isn't just manager Lou Piniella who didn't connect with him in his season here. Apparently, several key members of the team -- including Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano -- barely speak to Bradley. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/631951 631951 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:48:02 EDT Jon Heyman 10 days 21 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/631951 Aramis Ramirez finished 1-for-4 with an RBI in his return to action Friday.

Our View: The Cubs only mustered seven hits, and did not have many highlights. Ramirez collected his 65th RBI in a 2009 campaign that was spoiled by injuries. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/561811 561811 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:08:01 EDT fanball.com 49 days 18 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/561811 Ramirez is back in the starting lineup for Thursday night's game against the Pirates.

There's a chance he doesn't return at all this year, but this day-to-day limbo is a sadly fitting end to what has been a tantalizing season for A-Ram and his fantasy owners. Ramirez posted a stellar .317-15-64 line in just 300 at-bats, with a .906 OPS, but just wasn't healthy enough frequently enough to really help owners. The Cubs are downplaying the possibility that he'll need offseason surgery, but this is one player worth monitoring during the offseason. If he's healthy, he's among the most productive fantasy third basemen out there; if he's not, as his owners know, he's a headache. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/558204 558204 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:32:19 EDT mlb.com 51 days 15 hours 41 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/558204 Aramis Ramirez (sore shoulder) could be shut down for the year.

"His shoulder is sore," manager Lou Piniella said. "I don't know how much playing time he'll get the rest of the year. Ramirez has been playing with discomfort for a good while. We appreciate that. If he can play here sparingly the rest of the year, we'll see." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/557353 557353 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:04:01 EDT kffl.com 51 days 22 hours 9 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/557353 Aramis Ramirez (sore shoulder) is expected to play sparingly over the final week of the regular season. Cubs manager Lou Piniella told reporters that he appreciates Ramirez's willingness to play through the pain, but it's simply not worth risking further injury.

Manager Lou Piniella said Ramirez might be able to play "sparingly" the rest of the way, but he repeated that Ramirez will not need offseason surgery. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/556694 556694 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 4:32:02 EDT kffl.com 52 days 7 hours 41 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Aramis_Ramirez/556694
