Ramirez's numbers very similar to last year before free aency

[bluesky5]

Signing a big free agent contract puts pressure on players tha tsometimes effects their stats negatively.
You wouldn't know it by looking at the last two seasons Aramis Ramirez has had. His numbers from 2011 with the Cubs and 2012 after he signed a lucrative free agent contract with the Brewers are strikingly similar, right down to his numbers of at bats and games played.

.................................................. G...........AB.......H.......HR.....RBI...... B.AVG.
2011 Chicago Cubs.......................149.........565.....173 .....26......92.......306
2012 Milwaukee Brewers...............149.........570......171.... .27....105..... .300

Lifetime Ramirez now has 1959 hits and 341 home runs in 1832 games and a .285 career batting average.

Would have been sweet if the Phillies had signed him. He is really under the radar for a third baseman with almost 350 career home runs.
