Perhaps a follow up is needed, as Alexei is batting .300 since temporarily taking over the starting role from Uribe, due to his injury - 13/39. He has had timely hits, a game winnning home run, a rare stolen base, a game winning tag-up on a short fly ball (today) and made some outstanding plays. Certainly, he has shown improvement. But I agree, he needs to get ahead on pitchers. He is always 0-1 or 0-2.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1627','av2ts'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1627','av2ts','Thanks for the research here.

He no doubt is a talent though. From the few at-bats I have seen, he is having problems with plate discipline as you said, falling behind in counts. That will definitely hurt your average. He also looks like a rail. He is much skinnier than I had pictured him. I may be an Indians fan, but I am keeping a close eye on Ramirez' efforts and rooting for him to succeed.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1565','Michael Taylor'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1565','Michael Taylor','I did a piece for another site about Ramirez before the season and was amazed at the disparities in reports about Ramirez.
