Carlos Ramirez wasn't interested when the Blue Jays suggested the outfielder try pitching three years ago. I just try to do my best on the mound.” The 26-year-old Ramirez wouldn’t have thought it possible three years ago. He was an outfielder with Class-A Lansing then, and wasn’t interested in the Jays’ suggestion that he become a pitcher. But having worked his way up to Lansing, he wasn’t interested in revisiting the lower levels of the Jays’ system. Ramirez allowed two unearned runs in 23 2/3 innings there, with a walk and 29 strikeouts along the way.
