Manny Ramirez on Cover of ESPN The Magazine 2009 MLB Preview Issue
LA Dodgers Manny Ramirez made some noise and encountered some scary moments during the off-season and it seems after settling down, we are about to see why he is one of the hottest players that Major League Baseball has to date. In fact, don’t be surprised if you see him on the cover of ESPN The Magazine 2009 MLB Preview Issue because he is the one featured.
Everyone loves to watch Manny Ramirez at the plate. Even other major league players stop to watch him take batting practice – some are even distracted during the game. That’s because they can’t do what Manny does, which is hit a baseball better than just about anyone else on the planet. In Welcome to Mannywood, in the new issue of ESPN The Magazine on sale now, writer Jeff Bradley talks to teammates, coaches and swing experts to get their take on the swing savant.
In addition to the Ramirez feature, ESPN The Magazine’s baseball gurus Buster Olney and Tim Kurkjian break down all 30 teams to find out who’s the team to beat this year…their pick: The Tampa Bay Rays. Plus, a new wave of fielding analysis changes the way free agent sluggers are valued, and the experts from Baseball Prospectus on how a few subtle changes in the field can dramatically change a team’s defense…for better or worse.
