Manny Ramirez American Professional Baseball Player

Manuel Arístides "Manny" Ramírez Onelcida (born May 30, 1972) is a Dominican-American professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter who is currently with the Oakland Athletics organization.

How disappointing is this June call-up season? So bad, we are left waiting for the has-beens like Roy Oswalt, Manny Ramirez and Vladimir Guerrero.

Anthony Rizzo, Trevor Bauer and Wil Myers are increasingly tantalizing for fantasy owners, but their respective GMs just aren't biting right now. At least in the cases of Oswalt, Ramirez and Guerrero we know what we can get, even if it's far less intriguing for us prospect hounds.

Oswalt has stretched out to 88 pitches and has just two starts to go. Ramirez is scorching since the start of June, a veritable answering of the bell after his 50-game suspension time had lapsed. And Vladdy has shown enough pluck to be granted his release from the Blue Jays organization because he wants to be called up, like, uh, yesterday.

Meanwhile, the news on remaining four of this writer's June High Five gets more discouraging by the day, even as the numbers get more impressive. Only Matt LaPorta has arrived among the five players we guaranteed would get the call in June, and he has seemingly done more for an awoken Casey Kotchman than he has for LaPorta (.182) himself or his fantasy owners. (Update: LaPorta was optioned back to Triple A Wednesday.)

Rizzo has dealt with a thumb issue, then banged up his knee Tuesday, after the Cubs announced they have no immediate plans to move him to the majors during interleague play. Bauer just doesn't have a rotation spot to occupy in Arizona with the staff of Ian Kennedy, Trevor Bauer, Daniel Hudson, Wade Miley and Joe Saunders holding down the fort. And Myers' management recently suggested if he continues to do this well, his arrival can come "sometime early next year."
