Red Sox claim the ‘other’ Ramon Ramirez 12.08.09 at 6:13 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

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.

    Great YANKESS get Granderson….we get some Ramirez I never heard of….lets get down to brass tacks THEO and make a deal or two that will get us back in the thick of things.

  • Ben

    Granderson is over rated. He doesn’t even hit .260 and needs a righty-platoon partner in the play-offs or he’s an out.

  • Greg D.

    WTF!!!! First Tug Hulett, then Scott Atchinson, now Ramon A. Ramierez! Maybe we can sign a couple players from the major league movies, they will cost less and just as good. Or maybe Garth Brooks, Kevin Costner, or To Selak are looking to get back into the game.

    Hey Theo, I hope your going to show half a brain at the winter meetings and this would include not giving Jason Bay the kind of money he wants!

  • Baboon Ramierez

    RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

  • Ben

    Ha Ha Ha.. think they’ll be checking to make sure no one on the roster is dead too? Love that movie

    Ramon give me your sleeve…

    Ramon clean this up…

    That plane is flying low Ramon…

    Guys… chill out for a bit…
    We didn’t need Graderson, and he’s obviously overrated…
    We need a LF who can either hit over .300 (holliday) or 30+ homeruns (bay)… or even both… Graderson doesn’t satisfy for our needs.
    Who knows this Ramon kid can be another Ramon Ramirez type of player in 10 season. Having pitched in Japan league for couple of years, Atchison can be effective if he can pitch like Japanese players (okajima or saito) – best case scenario…
    Please be patience until we do sign a major player, and I’m sure we will..
    If no major signing happens this off-season, we can all blame Thoe then!!!

  • jeff

    How can you blame Theo if Henry doesn’t open up the checkbook???

  • Felipe

    Hey theo look at the yankees once again no bsssssssssssssssssss, they just get things done. Once again they have outsmarted and this is a huge pick up for the yankees, are you kidding me Granderson? what the ****. Jeter Granderson, texeira, alex rodrigues, thats the greatest top 4 batters i have ever seen in any team. We are picking up scutaro who?…….. Hullet who?………..atchison who?…..What a joke……………we are going to end up 25 games behind yankees this year and many years to come……Good job Guys…………..Oh yeah and don’t forget to raise ticket prices next year you idiots……………….

  • Alex

    Stop whining. Theo has all winter to make big moves. And signing guys like Hulett and Atchinson isn’t exciting but it’s important for organizational depth. I’m sorry that Theo isn’t operating on your personal schedules or catering to your demands for instant gratification.

  • Jill

    Well said Alex! All of these whiners sound more like Yankee fans than Sox fans. Yes, Granderson is good but he can’t hit a lefty to save his life! Also the Sox have a pretty decent centerfielder already. And if Theo went out and signed a bunch of over priced players as a knee jerk reaction to Yankee moves these same whiners would still be angry with him.
