Finally, we get something done about our second base woes.
Going in to 2008 it looked as tough our second baseman would either come from the minors, Danny Richar or some other major league team. Little did we know that he would be imported from Cuba of all places!
Mister Alexei Ramirez will, hopefully, be the starting second baseman come March 31st. According to mlb.com, Ramirez signed a 4-year 4.75 million contract (dirt cheap if you ask me) to play for the Sox.
The Cuban second baseman has hit 87 home runs over the past 7 years while compiling 391 RBI. Sounds like a pretty hot bat to me. If his speed is anything like Pods' was, we could have a serious import on our hands for practically no (baseball) money at all!
The one thing I am concerned about is... he comes from a country with Cub in it's name...
