Rangers Acquire Edwar Ramirez

By Tim Dierkes | March 9, 2010 at 12:32pm CDT

The Rangers acquired reliever Edwar Ramirez from the Yankees for cash considerations, tweets Jack Curry.  Ramirez had been designated for assignment on February 28th to clear a spot for Chan Ho Park.

Ramirez, 29 this month, whiffed 10.6 per nine in his 98.3 career big league innings with the Yankees.  Walks and home runs were a problem, though not nearly as much in recent Triple A stints.

    I would have preferred that the Yankees DFA’d Albaladejo instead.

      I agree and was almost certain that the Padres would claim Ramirez.

    I agree with the Albaladejo comment. But I would have preferred to not sign CHP, just don’t trust that dude…

    Tough one. Edwar Ramirez is pretty much a one pitch pitcher (change up is really good, almost great, but he doesn’t really have anything else to throw as his fastball is average at best). when Albaladejo has his act together, he has a lot more tools than Ramirez and Park is more consistent than both Ramirez and Albaladejo put together, so can’t get too mad at the Yankees for this move.

      ER is one refinement away from being very effective out of the ‘pen. With that changeup, he doesn’t need a plus fastball. He just needs be able to command it.

    Ramirez is one of the THE most dominant minor league pitchers of all time.

    With all due repsect to you Rev Black, but a great changeup in the absense of a decent fastball is meaningless, thus the reason why he struggled once teams saw him a couple of times. A great changeup is usually great because of the speed diferential between it and a fastball. When the fastball tops out at 88 mph and the changeup sits around 82-83 mph and that’s all he has then guys can sit on his change up and still have plenty of time to react to his sub par fastball. When he first came up in 2007 he was lights out. Even in 2008 he was fairly effective. He’s a decent guy to bring in to pitch to a batter or two but decent hitters will crush him.

    Geez, all the Yanks could get for him was Ben Franklin.

    In all seriousness, Park is a better pitcher than Ramirez or Albaledejo. I wouldn’t have been heartbroken if either of them were dumped.

    I wouldn’t fire even a janitor to allow Chan Ho Park to replace him. Didn’t anybody watch this clown pitch for the duration of his contract with the Rangers? How does he continue to get jobs in MLB?
