Boston Red Sox: Hanley Ramirez wants to be part of DH rotation

Hanley Ramirez has some ideas on how the Boston Red Sox can replace the retiring David Ortiz at the designated hitter position.

Appearing at Ortiz’s Celebrity Classic golf tournament in the Dominican Republic, Ramirez revealed to reporters that he would like to see more time in the DH role this year.

A year ago Ramirez was coming off of a disastrous first season in Boston in which he battled injuries, struggles at the plate and criticism over a misguided experiment to transition him to left field. The Red Sox converted him back to the infield this year, where he found a home at first base.
