Good responses so far.
Still with all that said, I am not convinced that dropping Ramirez into this lethargic lineup is going to solve all the problems. I understand that with Aramis, Alfonso, Milton, Derrek and the rest of them, we have a bunch of proven major leaguers. But on the other hand, I look at this lineup and I see a total inability to score runs when it matters most.
Sure Ramirez has come up with some big hits in the past, and he had a decent run in the '03 Playoffs. However I look back at that year and point to Kenny Lofton as the reason we succeeded. There are no players on this team like him.
I know I jumped gears there a little.
