Miami Marlins third baseman Hanley Ramirez is one of the better all-around players in Major League Baseball. He was the National League’s Rookie of the Year in 2006, has been named to 3 All-Star teams, and finished 2nd in the NL MVP voting in 2009. 2011 was one to forget with Hanley posting [...]

  The advertising folks at Powerade seized on the hubbub surrounding Hanley Ramirez’s move to third base. Panned for his less than warm reaction about Jose Reyes’ arrival and having to slide from short to third as a result, Ramirez in this Spanish ad says his peace. The translation: To all those who sent me critical messages, I want to ask for your forgiveness for not...

Apparently, Miami Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez receives his fair share of abuse courtesy of folks hassling him via his Twitter account. Further, it appears that Mr. Ramirez has taken notice. What’s more, it seems that one Hanley Ramirez, to quote the great part-time pacifist Popeye, has had all he can stands and he can’t stands [...]

This had to have been created as a viral marketing scheme by Powerade, there is no way this is a national television commercial. Spanish speaking, Twitter handles, angry superstars coming off a struggling season and awful facial hair, this was made for the Internet. This is just going to lead to more people mocking him on Twitter. [Follow me @TravisHouser]

Drafting Ramirez & Cabrera Means Third Base Eligibility HOT CORNER: Neither Ramirez or Cabrera played a single game at third base last year, but they will be opening day third sackers this year. The biggest news for sleepers at the third base position for the 2012 fantasy baseball season is actually two very well known players who didn’t play a single game at the hot...

All is still not settled between Hanley Ramirez and the Miami Marlins Ramirez seemed to indicate that he was willing to move from shortstop to third base in an interview with the Associated Press last Friday in the Dominican Republic. The article, however, did not accurately reflect Ramirez's sentiments, major-league sources say. Ramirez's stance remains unchanged, according to...

Hanley Ramirez says he'll accept a position switch to third base so Miami Marlins newcomer Jose Reyes can play shortstop.

There are two sides of the coin to any situation. There are yin’s and yang’s to the MLB value of CF Yoenis Cespedes, a Cuban defector who smashed the competition in the World Baseball Classic. Miami Marlins President David Samson has made no secret that the front office desires CF Yoenis Cespedes to be their everyday center fielder and is pursuing a deal aggressively...

The Miami Marlins signed Jose Reyes yesterday under the impression that incumbent shortstop Hanley Ramirez was ready and willing to move to third base.  Apparently they were mistaken.  According to an ESPNDeportes report, Hanley Ramirez wants to play shortstop and if he can’t, he wants to be traded.  We hear this type of story all of the time in sports.  Hanley Ramirez will...

You’ll be sweating Dee’s NutsPhoto Credit: bridgetds There’s no getting around it: the shortstop position is shallow as hell. Fantasy owners are forced to either overpay based on position scarcity, or take their chances with a cheap scrub. Most people in your fantasy league will not be happy with their SS, and they might even have one of the best options (see: Hanley Ramirez’s...

Let’s get this out of the way first: Ryan Roberts will not become an elite, or even very good, starting option at third base. He has limited upside, which probably means there’s very little room for improvement on his 2011 line of .241/.341/.427 with 86 runs, 19 homers, 65 RBI and 18 stolen bases. Still, despite the low average, that season was good for 106th overall...

With the signing of their new shortstop Jose Reyes, the Miami Marlins might be forced to trade their old one, Hanley Ramirez. New reports have come out saying that the Marlins are looking to trade Ramirez, but even newer reports have said otherwise. Ramirez has said in the past that if the Marlins signed Jose Reyes, he would rather be traded than move to third base. The Marlins obviously...

DALLAS –– When Miami acquired shortstop Jose Reyes, trade speculation immediately shifted to Hanley Ramirez. It was believed that Ramirez –– the team's starting shortstop for the last six years –– wouldn't be willing to switch to third base. If true, his demands could propel the Red Sox into hot pursuit. Although Boston has a starting shortstop in Marco Scutaro, the reality...

Looks like Will Smith had it right all along when he wrote the hit song some time ago “Welcome to Miami”. The Miami Marlins have made the biggest splashes of the offseason thus far by inking Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle to long term deals. Reyes’ deal is a backloaded contract to ease the transition of payroll down in Miami and to allow more payroll flexibility this winter. There...

Apparently Hanley Ramirez has finely grown up a little bit and now understands that the Miami Marlins are indeed the Miami Marlins, and not the Miami Hanleys. There are reports surfacing that Hanley Ramirez is now okay with playing third base as long as the team wins. Surprise surprise. I’m actually very surprised that he’s finally going down the route of a leader, but I give...

Hanley Ramirez has a "strong preference" to stay at shortstop, according to a major league source. His new manager with the Marlins, Ozzie Guillen, knows it. No matter. Guillen, in an interview with FOXSports.com Monday night, gave an emphatic, impassioned case for Ramirez not just to remain with the team, but remain its centerpiece. In fact, Guillen said just that to the Marlins...

As expected, Cherington and company looked into Hanley Ramirez. "No traction" in an interesting way to refer to it -- but regardless of semantics, the Marlins don't appear to be interested in what we have to offer. Aaron wrote on Monday that a deal would likely hinge on a package involving Clay Buchholz and/or Kevin Youkilis, and I'd say prospects would probably...
