08:18 AM ET 02.15 | So much for Hanley Ramirez smiling gladly and moving over to third base. Ramirez's move from shortstop to third base has been one of the most talked about topics surrounding the Marlins since they signed Jose Reyes to a six-year, $106 million contract in December. ... "I don't think he's 100 percent on board, not yet," [Ozzie Guillen] said. "Not from the last time I talked with him. I don't expect him to be. I expect him to be 100 percent on board with this move when we play St. Louis, the first day of the year." The Marlins open on April 4 against the Cardinals. By then, Guillen is confident Ramirez will be playing third base without any issues. "Right now, just let him be, man," Guillen said on Monday. ... "Just let him be. Let him be him."

Hasn't this always been the problem?

if he's not on board with it by now, i doubt he will be by opening day.

i can see an ozzie profanity-fest in front of reporters in the not too distant future. LOL

He always seems to be the center of attention in jekyl and hyde sort of way.

Skip the drama - trade him now ... Brandon Inge in Detroit will be available for signing shortly.

I've called for the marlins to trade this primadona months ago. The marlins would get a king's ransom for him and as someone else posted there are veteran fill-ins out there. I say do it now. Super talented player but isn't a Good teammate and never will be

He's a clubhouse cancer, they would NOT get a king's ransom.............a small fiefdom at most.

this guy will be a pain untill the franchise trade him otherwise he never going to stop the crying, what player wouldn't be content to play thirdbaes? or what utility player wouldn't like to play any spot? this itsn't about your name its about the franchise needs, you have your big contract signed? now go and play any place the manager decides to put you, there are teams who are short in the thirdbase but they don't the freedom of using another top player because they lack in that depth,

when hanley starts to complain about this and about that, big zambrano would come to the midle and fix hanley's attitude, or they may throw the towel together and walk away just like that!!!

February 15, 2012  12:23 PM ET

this player will show his discontent regardless of how the excecutives treat him, SEE vernon wells, he lose playing time due, to he most seats and warm the bench thanks to his lack of hitting skills, if this season he remains cold as a dead body, the angels would kick themselves for not trading this useless OF!!!

February 15, 2012  12:26 PM ET

the rays extend and give a new contract to their elite manager, joe maddon, i'm happy for him he deserved that type of grattitude, there are managers who are always passive and can't fullfill their responsability's but they still get big contracts!!

February 15, 2012  12:26 PM ET

Whatever happened to guys just wanting to play ball? I'd give my left nut to play.

February 15, 2012  12:29 PM ET

the nationals have everything to be a tough contenders, but they still have one little problem, their manager should be replaced, this franchise needs a manager who could turn this team towards the right direction, i mean really faster and not stay still for another two seasons!!!

joe torre would be a tough manager with the nationals!!!
