This...this is not good

So Hanley Ramirez is out for in the least the month of April for the Dodgers.  That is just a putter to the junk.  There's no other way to say it...because here are the options

1. Move Luis Cruz to SS, which Donny Yankees may do, but only shifts the problem to 3B (where Cruz usually plays)
2. Use the SS back-ups, which include the following gems:

Juan Uribe
  • 2012 season .191 in 47 games
  • Played only 4 of those at SS
  • Lead team in donut consumption
Dee Gordon
  • 2012 season .228
  • When returning from injury was replaced with better player
  • Currently injured "day to day"
  • Will attempt to not swing at every first pitch in 2013 season
  • Will attempt to not throw each time to the 5th row
Nick Punto

  • No description needed.

Tommy will have to do more than the usual motivation...and even that might not be enough...
