Erasmo Ramirez understood that you can't really control Rajai Davis. He's basically a speeding train. Almost a force of nature. And can you stop a speeding train? No, no you cannot. Rajai Davis is a free agent next year, and although I've only really seen him play for a little bit, he's clearly going to demand a $30 million AAU.
You can't stop a speeding train. But you know what you can do? Get it out of the way of a populated area. Flip the switches and let it die out in New Mexico. In the fourth inning, that's essentially what Erasmo Ramirez did.
