Ramirez Returning to Boston?

It will be a cold day in hell before Manny Ramirez steps through the gates at Fenway but one-time Red Sox Hanley Ramirez is on the radar. Most fans won’t remember or even know that Hanley had 2 at bats for the Sox back in 2005 before being traded to the Marlins in the deal that brought Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell to Boston. Hanley would be a huge boost to a lineup that hasn’t seen any productions from the SS since the departure of Nomar Garciaparra in 2004. Sure Edgar Renteria did his part and Julio Lugo and Jed Lowrie held the position down for a while but with the departure of Julio Lugo, the Sox are looking to fill the void. Ramirez hit .342 with 24 HRs, 106 RBI and 101 runs scored. Numbers like this would have Red Sox faithful saying “Manny who?”
