Ramirez and Ted Williams: Red Sox present reflects past

The heat is on for new Red Sox outfielder Hanley Ramirez. Indifference on the base paths, questionable decision making in the field and the negativity that was preached by many in Red Sox Nation. A disaster in the making. But the potential bat!

Ramirez switched positions and did so willingly. The move to left field has not been as seamless as expected. An examination of the metrics shows a preponderance of negatives and the eyeball test brings back memories of Manny Ramirez and “Manny being Manny” as a way to dismiss the flounders in the outfield.
