It's not like White Sox second baseman Alexei Ramirez has gone unnoticed for his hustle and defensive prowess thus far, but come on; this is close to supernatural. Look at this play by Ramirez in the seventh against the Rangers on Wednesday; sleight of hand worthy of the Magic Castle. Wizard Cat grants this play: Seven wands. Owner of one of the greatest of all nicknames, The Cuban Missile played six seasons in Cuba before coming to MLB via the Dominican; having tried out for several teams before agreeing to a deal wit the White Sox. And those teams that didn't want him were who, exactly? Ramirez hit his first career grand slam on Tuesday, also against the Rangers. Chicago won on Wednesday 10-8. Too bad, Ichiro Suizuki ... on any other day, you would have been going home with a duffel bag stuffed with wands. Ramirez' Flip Play [MLB.com]
