I was annoyed, but the "free pass" was because he had produced before, and I expected his numbers to improve by the time all was said and done. So for me personally, Ramirez is not a fit for this team. When it really matters, he doesn't show up or care. Bury him on a top 5 offensive team where he can fly under the radar. The Cubs need someone capable of being a carry-the-load guy behind Lee and they need a big time producer, so it has to come from 3B, LF, or RF next year. I once again feel the need to ask, what team were you watching in '03 and '04. Not to mention that the bolded is based on absolutely nothing. You simply can't make that evaluation with the information we have as fans.
