In the four games I watched, it's a disaster in waiting.

If it turns out that he can't play second, then someone needs to get a day off in the outfield or 3B almost every day, because he has been our best hitter in spring so far.

His spring bat has been fine. However, in the field he looks like a guy who has been moved all over creation. Doesn't look real confident on any ball hit at him.

Well, not sure if he can really pitch yet or not, but Ho Ram can definitely field his position on the mound.

I was at the game last Sunday when he gave 6 in the 1st and 3 in the 2nd. Course there was a 35 MPH wind blowing out to CF and there were 40 hits and 30 runs that day.

Ya, I saw the box on that one. He MIGHT be our #5, but that's about it.

Pretty wild. Everything hit in the air went out. And anything that was hit hard went out of the park. And I mean out. 4 balls cleared the stadium concourse.

There was a small blurb in the AZ paper that mentioned the coaching staff wasn't allowing Ramirez to use all his pitches in that game. He had to use only fastball / cut fastball.

Might as well have had him throwing beach balls up there..
