Ramirez was moved from fourth to third in the lineup Aug. 28 and stayed there through the successful stretch run and the postseason. Torre indicated the cleanup hitter protecting Ramirez might vary depending on whether the opposing starting pitcher is right- or left-handed. Last year against left-handed pitching, Torre batted right-handed-hitting Russell Martin fourth after Jeff Kent was injured. This spring against right-handed pitching, Torre has usually used left-handed-hitting Andre Ethier at cleanup.

News: Manny Ramirez felt good running the bases, and now he's ready to test his hamstring in the outfield. A day after hitting his first home run of spring training, Ramirez started in left field and batted third for the Dodgers in a game against the Brewers on Wednesday. He singled in his first at-bat. Ramirez had been kept from playing in the field since he aggravated his sore left hamstring chasing down a double against the Colorado Rockies on March 15, his only other game in left this spring. He missed six games before returning for two as the DH. "I guess I do have some trepidation," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "You have to do it at some point. He's ready to do it. He's been down longer than he wanted to be. He has no restrictions. You have to hope for the best." Ramirez, who signed a two-year, $45 million contract March 4, hit a home run against Seattle on Tuesday. He had two hits in seven at-bats entering Wednesday. [...]

During a 6 a.m. meeting Wednesday at the Malibu beach house of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, the sides reached a preliminary agreement on a $45 million, two-year contract that they made official later that day. "We all wanted the same thing and that's what was apparent to me," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who left spring training in Arizona with GM Ned Colletti to attend the session. "After last year and the time he spent with us, we knew we wanted him back. It was just a matter of finding that common ground," Torre said. "As Ned said, you talk on the phone and to different people, you need to get face-to-face. It was a real good meeting. There was a lot of comfortable conversation." Ramirez gets $25 million this year and has until November to decide whether to void the second season, which calls for a $20 million salary. The deal includes a full no-trade provision, and some of the salary will be deferred. [...]

Our View: This was essentially the same offer that was put on the table in November, and we suddenly feel like we have wasted a huge amount of effort to get to the same place we started from. Three and a half months and 100 or so notes from then until now and nothing changed. With the ability to opt out after the season, Manny is playing for a contract once agin in 2009. He will once again be among the best hitters in the game and all of the Dodgers will benefit from his presence in the lineup.

The meeting will be held to finalize the terms of the contract and resolve any issues that remain after four months of sometimes cantankerous negotiations since Ramirez declared for free agency.

While he will turn 37 at the end of May, Manny is still one of the most feared hitters in the game and will provide excellent value, aside from speed, to any fantasy squad. His return would decrease the value of both Juan Pierre and Andre Ethier, and possibly Matt Kemp a bit as well, as there will be only two everyday spots for the three players.
