We’re not sure whether Ramírez would have started today if he hadn’t reached three times in his debut game Monday, but he was in there and even elevated to the cleanup spot. He’s now 5-for-6 with two doubles and two walks to begin his MLB career. He’s a huge question mark behind the plate, but if he keeps hitting, the Marlins have plenty of room to carry him as a first baseman and DH. It’d just be a matter if they think he might benefit more from catching regularly in the minors after Nick Fortes returns. Of course, they also don’t really have anything to lose from just letting him catch in the majors.

Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
