Bautista - Hanley Ramirez Connection

Article talking about how Hanley Ramirez is adapting to playing third base. Found an interesting snippet:

it starts with the newfound work ethic, a regimen that didn't just begin this spring. Ramirez went home to the Dominican Republic, after the worst year of his career, and sought out a man he says has been "a big inspiration to me," Toronto's Jose Bautista, and let Bautista push him to places he'd never been before.

"I never worked that much," Ramirez said. "But I knew that I needed it because I didn't play the whole season. The other years, I always played over 150 games, so I just went back, got some rest and started [working out] in January. But after what happened last year, I knew I needed to work harder to get back soon on the field."

why is that? one team friendly contract with above average production with the bat and glove and a potential replacement for him, when he eventually moves to 2nd

Because Hech is our long term plan.

what a garbage post. some teams would kill to have that kind of depth at SS.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

Return to Toronto Blue Jays
