Everyone knows what's wrong with him. He has a knee injury that he says won't be 100 percent until at least the offseason. The organization made a plan for him that involved regular days off, and they've stuck to that. Exactamundo. Knee injuries are a bitch. I hurt my knee two years ago and it still gives me all kinds of problems on very random days. 5 knee surgeries, 2 re-con, and three arthro...they just DON'T get better Yep, which is exactly why I'm not on the "WHY ISN'T RAMIREZ PLAYING EVERYDAY!!!" bandwagon. Knees can damage one's career faster than any other ailment I think in baseball. Cases in point: Mickey Mantle could have been the greatest player of all time had he not hurt his knees. Andre Dawson would have been a first ballot HOFer had he not destroyed his knees. Not that i had a "career" per se, but it ended my college career. And at my ripe old age, I walk with a limp and have pretty bad arthritis already. Some days I can barely move when I wake up, much less run out a routine single. If he was healthy, sure, hustle all the time, but I don't want him further injuring himself over something stupid.
