Marlins Concerned Hanley's Contract Will Make Him Complacent
10th September, 2008 - 11:45 am
Miami Herald - Hanley Ramirez insists his six-year, $70 million contract won't make him complacent. But one Marlins' executive wants to see for himself.

Marlins' special assistant Andre Dawson said, "work ethic and hunger are telltale signs" if a good player wants to improve. Does Ramirez have that? "It remains to be seen, especially now that he's locked up," Dawson said. "I'd like to see a bit more hunger. That's what makes you a team leader. His intensity is yet to reach that peak. And I want to see him cut his swing down in RBI situations. He's over-swinging."

RealGM Note: Ramirez had an OPS of .957 and 20 homers in the first half, but since the break he is hitting .844 with just six homers. [READ]
