Hanley Ramirez getting an early start at 1B

Reporting early to camp, newly minted Red Sox first baseman Hanley Ramirez was hard at work learning his second position in as many seasons. According to infield coach Brian Butterfield "He was light on his feet. He looks pretty natural right now." (Rob Bradford - weei.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Ramirez will begin this season with OF eligibility and should have 1B by week two. With that being said, you shouldn't draft Hanley with designs on him being a top 15 1B. His current ADP is 117 which puts him at the end of the 9th round in a 12 team mixed league. If you can snatch him up some time after the 10th round you might find some value, but don't plan on him being more than a CI or third OF.
