Everybody likes Ramirez' bat. They also like his arm, only they wish he would keep it under control more. Most of his PCL-high 42 errors were the result of rushed throws. "He has a tremendous eye at the plate," said Nashville's Trent Jewett, who got to watch Ramirez more than any other manager. "He has great recognition of the strike zone for a young player, and he uses the whole ballpark. "He has about as good a throwing arm for an infielder as you'd want. He will determine how good he can become." Ramirez spent all of 1999 in Triple-A after being in the big leagues the last half of 1998--at age 19. All he needs is to develop the same discipline with his arm as his bat.
