DR HQ: 2013 injury risks: Shortstop

Hanley Ramírez (SS/3B, LA) 
When Ramirez was with the Marlins a few seasons ago he underwent surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum. Up until this offseason, we had not heard of any signs that he had right shoulder issues. He ended up DHing this winter to protect the shoulder. So far this spring it is all quiet on the injury front. He is being reviewed here because he is expected to move back to shortstop after playing third base the past few campaigns. Will his shoulder hold up? It should or the Dodgers would not have considered the move back to short. Still, Ramirez owners should keep this in the back of your mind. Shortstop can be more demanding on the throwing shoulder.
Draft Day Risk: Slight

José Reyes (SS, TOR)
