Nexus	Sox Claim (other) Ramon Ramirez from Rays		Lead	[-]
Veteran Member Posts: 368 12/08/09 7:31 PM	Tags : None Per Bradford (WEEI): The Red Sox are lining themselves up to have two pitchers by the name of Ramon Ramirez on their roster. The Sox claimed Ramon A. Ramirez off release waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays and will be notified if they are awarded the claim Wednesday. Ramirez had been claimed off outright waivers by the Rays after being with the Cincinnati Reds. The 27-year-old, who like his Red Sox relieving namesake, Ramon Santo Ramirez, throws from the right side, has pitched in 16 games, 11 coming with the Reds in the 2009 season. He started four games for the Reds, finishing last season with a 1-1 records and 2.97 ERA. Also like the Ramirez currently on the Sox' roster, Ramon Santo Ramirez is somewhat short in stature for a pitcher, standing at 5-foot-11 and also boasts a changeup as one of his better pitches.

Ram Ram II had been property of Cincinnati in 2009 appearing in eleven games. He was then placed on waivers by the Reds and claimed by Tampa. He never played for the Rays.

Veteran Member Posts: 693 12/09/09 6:04 PM	In making a transaction like this, how much consideration do you think the front office gives to the fact that's it's completely ridiculous to have two right-handed relievers named Ramon Ramirez?

Can you picture Remy with all this ? He of "and now some guy wearing number 80" fame.
