December 6, 2007 With Miguel Cabrera now in Detroit, the Marlins have a gaping hole in the third spot in their order. That spot could be filled by Hanley Ramirez. "I've always said that, one day, Hanley's going to be a middle-of-the-lineup type guy, maybe in '08," manager Fredi Gonzalez said in the Miami Herald. Ramirez hit third 39 times in '07 but has been used mainly in the leadoff spot. A move to the three hole would obviously increase Ramirez's RBI chances, but his runs scored and perhaps his steals totals would take a hit. |

October 3, 2007 Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez had surgery on Wednesday to repair torn labrum tissue. A spokesperson for the Marlins said that they expected Ramirez to be ready for the start of spring training. Ramirez hit .332 this season, with 212 hits and 29 homeruns. |

September 29, 2007 Hanley Ramirez had to leave Saturday's game in the fourth inning after getting hit on the left hand by a pitch. Subsequent X-rays on Ramirez's hand were negative, though it's not clear if he'll play in tomorrow's season finale, according to the AP. Ramirez, incidentally, was not even awarded first base on the play, as home plate umpire CB Bucknor ruled it a foul ball off the knob of the bat. |

September 4, 2007 Hanley Ramirez had more problems with his left shoulder on Monday, and he may undergo surgery after the season. "I think it scares him more than it really hurts him," manager Fredi Gonzalez informs the Palm Beach Post. Ramirez doesn't plan to cut his season short. |

|
July 25, 2007 The best case scenario for Hanley Ramirez to return to the starting lineup is Friday, according to the Marlins official site.

He said he hopes to do some baseball activities like swing a bat on Wednesday. |
|
July 23, 2007 Hanley Ramirez will not play on Monday after partially dislocating his left shoulder on a swing in the first inning of Sunday's game. His shoulder popped right back in once he was off the field, but more about the injury should be known after he's examined Monday, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Ramirez would not be placed on the disabled list right away. A best-case scenario would have him back in the mix Tuesday, but an extended absence is a clear possibility. |

June 28, 2007 Hanley Ramirez batted leadoff Wednesday for the first time since May 14, the AP reports.

He can hit no matter where he is in the lineup." |

|
May 17, 2007 Hanley Ramirez hit third on Tuesday night and looked so good that the move may stick. Ramirez, who normally bats leadoff, went 3-for-4 on Tuesday and 1-for-4 on Wednesday. "We've always talked about the possibility of Hanley hitting third, so I think I'll give it a shot," manager Fredi Gonzalez explains to the Miami Herald. "We'll give it a few games." Miguel Cabrera has slid down to the fourth spot. Alfredo Amezaga and Reggie Abercrombie batted first over the last two nights. |
|
April 26, 2007 Hanley Ramirez batted third on Wednesday because Fredi Gonzalez wanted to shake up the lineup against Atlanta's Tim Hudson, the AP reports. Ramirez went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts; either way, the Marlins planned to have him back in the leadoff spot Friday. "He may be a No. 3 hitter in the future," Gonzalez said. "Before we do that, we need a leadoff hitter." |
|
April 13, 2007 Hanley Ramirez has been kept out of the lineup the last few days as a precaution, according to the Miami Herald. Ramirez hasn't played since Sunday due to a strained hamstring.

The Marlins are noncommittal about a return date for Ramirez, but it seems likely he'll come back to action sometime this weekend. |

March 20, 2007 Hanley Ramirez was removed from Tuesday's game after the first inning for precautionary reasons due to tightness in his right groin, according to MLB.com. "I didn't want to take any chances with him," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "At first base after he ran, he kind of gave a little hesitation. I asked him if it was something. He said it was a little tight. I'm not taking any chances with any tightness stuff here in spring." The Marlins are off Wednesday, and Ramirez said he wants to play Thursday. "I felt it after I swung," he said. "I'll be ready for Thursday. It's [bothered me the last] couple of days. It's fine. I just want to make sure everything is OK and get ready for the season. I wanted to stay in." |
