FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A collection of media members wielding cameras whipped into action the second Hanley Ramirez wandered over to first base on Wednesday morning.
The position switch that has been talked about since August is a full-go, and nobody wanted to miss the first chapter of Spring Training.
In fact, position players aren't due into camp for another six days, but Ramirez picked Wednesday as his arrival date, because he wants to take all the time he can get.
The tutorials with renowned infield instructor Brian Butterfield should start no later than Thursday.
