Hanley enjoing his time with Dominican team
Hanley Ramirez - SS - Los Angeles Dodgers
Feb. 2, 2013 - 11:40 PM ET

Hanley Ramirez is thoroughly enjoying his time supporting his country, playing in the Dominican Winter League, the Caribbean Series and the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

While the Dodgers had hoped that Ramirez would get some work in at shortstop, he served as the DH during winter ball and will play mostly third base during the WBC. The Dodgers still intend to use him as their everyday shortstop while Luis Cruz mans the hot corner, but with a shortened spring training to work on his defense there they could always opt to give Dee Gordon another chance.
