When I was a kid, I always wanted the Reds and Angels to trade players to each other that weren't working out and have all players involved catch fire. I was a young Reds fan that was used to 4 or 5 pages of Reds propaganda in the newspaper everyday, win or lose. We moved to Alaska and then all I got was two or three sentences in an Associated Press blurb. So I needed an American League team to root for and I sure as Hell wasn't going to root for Cleveland. The Angels signed Doug DeCinces, Fred Lynn, Rod Carew, Don Baylor, Bobby Grich, Bob Boone and Decinces was one of my favorite non-Red in the big leagues. Then the bastards made me root for Reggie Jackson, that was tough to do.
Ramirez is OK, nothing special, but he does have his moments where he looks to be in complete control and is the man . . . then he has some games where you wonder how he made it to the bigs. He is often their early innings relief for 2 or 3 innings but he's mostly just a middle innings guy. I'm expecting him to be merely Lorenzen's replacement as it seems already accepted that Lorenzen is moving to the starting rotation.
