Cleveland Indians first baseman Hanley Ramirez is expected to make the Opening Day roster, manager Terry Francona said.
Francona added that the only way it would change is if the Indians added outside help before Opening Day. Ramirez was batting just .219/.265/.281 over 11 games in spring play before going 3-for-4 with 2 taters and 3 RBI this past Friday. The 35-year-old will likely work as the Indians' primary designated hitter.
numberFire's models expect Ramirez to bat .250 with 4 home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, and 2 steals across 142 plate appearances this season.
