"Pitchers can attack him with velocity, especially away where he can't try to start his bat early and pull it, but he hasn't yet experienced the big loss of bat speed you'd expect given his age and body type. That will come in the next few years, of course, as Ramirez (like all of us) faces that penalty for a crime he hasn't committed, one that already has turned him from an indifferent defender at third into an outright bad one. Moved to first base, he could turn in a few productive years as a second-tier power hitter who makes enough contact to get on base at a reasonable clip. He's also one of the most likely players in this market to go all Adam Dunn on his new employers."
