ST. PETERSBURG -- Wilson Ramos is still rehabbing from the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, so Tuesday night -- when Ramos received the Silver Slugger Award for National League catchers in a pregame presentation at Tropicana Field -- allowed Rays fans to get a look at the All-Star backstop who should be joining the team by midseason.
Ramos hit .307 with 22 home runs and 80 RBIs for the Nationals last season, earning him his first Silver Slugger Award, an honor voted on annually by NL managers and coaches.
"To me, it's very special [to receive the award]," Ramos said.
