Remember how Hanley Ramirez was all bent out of shape by the Marlins signing Jose Reyes and talking about moving him to third base? Well, he -- or his agent and/or P.R. team -- has had a change of heart:

“I have spoken with (manager Ozzie) Guillén and what we want is to win with the Marlins,” Ramirez told the Associated Press. “When January arrives, we will see what will happen to change position and others. If it’s third, well, where I get to win, I will do it”

That’s good to hear. Can’t wait for his Michael Young-style MVP campaign to get started. Or do you have to ask to be traded before you accept the position change to be considered a team leader?
