We will be rolling out plenty of 2010 fantasy baseball coverage in the coming days, weeks and months, but let’s start right here with player-by-player profiles of our rough top 100 preseason rankings. Stay tuned to the site for more player profiles, draft kit information, rankings, sleepers, busts, etc. as the regular season approaches.

Aramis Ramirez, 3B, Chicago Cubs
Overview: Longtime contributor at third base after making his Major League debut as a 19-year-old in Pittsburgh … has dealt with injuries in his career with Chicago, including a left shoulder injury that limited him to 82 games last season … when healthy, is one of the game’s most consistent RBI guys … has six 100-RBI seasons and four with at least 30 HRs.
2009 numbers: .317 avg, 15 HRs, 65 RBIs, 46 runs, 2 SBs in 82 games
Key splits and trends: After a run of three straight 30-homer seasons, has fallen short of that mark in each of the last three … has fallen short of 140 games played in three of the last five campaigns … was as good as ever after coming off the disabled list in July … hit .310 with 11 HRs in the second half of the season.
Strengths: Is a prototypical run producer with 120-RBI upside … has good power and calls a hitter-friendly ballpark home … is also a rarity in that he can add a .300+ average to the 30 HR-100 RBI package.
Weaknesses: Is more prone to injury than your average third baseman … hard to rely on 150+ games, so it’s hard to pencil him in for .300-30-100 … home run total is iffy; hasn’t hit the 30-HR mark since ‘06.
Bold prediction for 2010: Power and injury trends continue; hits .300 with 21 HRs and 85 RBIs in 125 games.
