Rosenthal: Teammates in awe of Manny's work ethic

Many people don't equate Manny Ramirez with hard work, but those people would not be teammates of the Red Sox' slugging left fielder. Ken Rosenthal had an interesting piece this weekend on the Fox Sports site that says Red Sox teammates are almost in awe of Ramirez's dedication and approach to hitting.

The story contains quotes from Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia, J.D. Drew, Mike Timlin, Kevin Youkilis, Alex Cora, Curt Schilling, David Ortiz and Sean Casey. All these guys praise Ramirez's seriousness of purpose. The story also includes a poll that seems pretty out of place: What do you think of Manny Ramirez? The choices: Knucklehead, too laid back, misunderstood, still not sure. I'd take "all-time great player," but it's not an option.

I think Sox fans know how hard Manny works but he is still seen as lazy around the league. I hope they can lock him up for the remainder of his career.
