Hanley Ramirez | SoxProspects.com

Born: December 23, 1983
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Height: 6-1
Weight: 170
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Drafted: Not drafted
How Acquired: Free agent (Nov. 2014);
International free agent (July 2000)

Released (June 2018)

Scouting Report: Plus power with a plus to better bat. Solid pitch recognition with average to better plate discipline. Formerly above-average speed has declined some with age and increased muscle mass. Elite overall offensive skills. Below-average defense at short, got worse in his 30s. Bulked up coming into 2015 and struggled mightily upon move to left field. The Sox will try him at first base in 2016, where they hope a leaner Ramirez will provide adequate defense. Has been prone to injuries and character issues throughout his career.
