Not sure why this was so one sided for Ramos a month ago? Now, not so much so for this past 30 days...LOL
They are essentially the same player for 5x5 fantasy purposes.....take Ramos' 1000 ab's and multiply his by 3 to equal Montero's 3000 and they look pretty much the same across the board. No idea why some view Ramos as clearly the better play, unless they were the same guys that given Montero's advanced age of four years the elder were touting Montero as the guy with great upside at the catching position to reach "elite" status four years ago...then you factor in will the guy actually play or not the guy that "we hope can stay healthy" gets the nod?
Ramos was 4th in the majors in fly ball distance last year and hit 16 HRs in half the season.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I recommended Ramos because of his upside, which Montero lacks. He may not get it going this year since those hand injuries tend to sap power, but if you are choosing between those two I still think Ramos has more upside and will get it going at some point.
