Hanley Ramirez undergoes season-ending shoulder surgery




Hanley wound up posting an underwhelming .243/.333/.379 batting line with 10 homers, 45 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 385 plate appearances this year for the Marlins, who currently sit 30 games back in the National League East standings. He was not named an All-Star for the first time since ’07.

The 27-year-old “face of the franchise” will have much to prove in 2012, when the Marlins move into their new ballpark. If the Fish hope to compete in the stadium’s inaugural year, Ramirez will have to be far better.
