Miami Marlins’ Hanley Ramirez shows eagerness to move to third-base – MLB News
The Miami Marlins’ short-stop Hanley Ramirez is showing some great willingness to play at third-base position after arguing with his management last December as they wanted him to play at this position to create more playing room for hitter Jose Reyes.
He has recently spoke to renowned international news agency and told them that he is now somewhat agreed to play at that particular position and also talked to his team manager about all of these issues.
According to the news source, Ramirez said, “I have spoken with Guillen, What we want is to win with the Marlins. We will see what's going to happen with the position switch and everything else. If it's third base, OK. Wherever they put me to win,
I will do so. We are a new Marlins club. There's also a new Hanley. Good stuff is coming for next season.”
Later, this was also confirmed by the Marlins new and former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. He told the media that his player has agreed to play at third-base which is a great sign for the franchise who is already preparing very hard for
the next Major League season to put up a good show.
Jose Reyes, who is considered one of the best players at short-stop, will now get the chance to play at his favourite position where previously Ramirez was playing.
During the annual MLB winter meeting in Milwaukee, Reyes has also said, “I know Hanley wants to win and I want to win, too. With him at third base and me at shortstop and the other pieces we have, we can be unbelievable.”
However, for Ramirez this switch from short-stop to third-base can help the Marlins winning chances next year. No doubt both players play wonderful at short-stop but experts and inside Marlins’ management have always given more importance to Reyes
at that particular position.
Both players also possess great stats in their careers. However, if someone is more comfortable at any particular playing position then he must be given complete freedom to explore it and eventually he will produce great results.
