Hanley Hearts Derek
From MLB.com:
Considered one of the best prospects in the Boston organization, Hanley Ramírez was traded to the Marlins during the offseason. The young infielder is part of the Dominican roster playing in the 2006 Caribbean Series.
"I just want to play with a team who will allow me to be in the lineup so I can show what I am able to do in the field," he said.
Ramirez wears jersey No. 24 in the in the Caribbean Series in honor of Manny Ramírez. Countryman Miguel Cabrera wears the number for the Marlins so Ramirez will sport jersey No. 2 in honor of Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, one of his favorite players.
Too bad Hanley didn't stay with the Red Sox. It would have been great to someday hear him say that Jeter was his fav while being a member of Lucchino's Losers.
