Detroit Manager Jim Leyland:

"Ramon's one of the most popular players on the team, to be honest with you -- maybe the most popular, he's a great guy. He just mixes in with everybody. He means a lot to us -- switch-hitter, can hit from both sides; he makes plays at short or second. Those guys are hard to find."
