Orlando, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound center fielder from Sao Paulo, Brazil, will be assigned to the Class A Wilmington roster. He was hitting .264 with 15 doubles, 12 triples, nine homers, 42 RBIs and 73 runs scored. Orlando, who was 28-of-37 in stolen bases, entered the 2008 season ranked by Baseball America as the fastest baserunner and best defensive outfielder in the White Sox organization.
Not a terrible return for a a guy that was on his third team. Ramirez only has success with the Royals as we used him in relief. As a starter he had failed with two teams. This also gives a chance to a young lefty to come up and see what he can do.
