Marlins' Ramirez says he'll accept switch to 3B (AP)
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic ? Hanley Ramirez says he'll accept a position switch to third base so Miami Marlins newcomer Jose Reyes can play shortstop.
When Reyes signed a $106 million, six-year deal with Miami last month, there was speculation Ramirez was unhappy about being supplanted at short. But new manager Ozzie Guillen sold Ramirez on the idea.
"I have spoken with Guillen," Ramirez said. "What we want is to win with the Marlins. We will see what's going to happen with the position switch and everything else. If it's third base, OK. Wherever they put me to win, I will do so."
With Reyes at shortstop and Ramirez at third, the Marlins become stronger defensively at both positions, and more potent offensively. Reyes hit .337 with the New York Mets last year to win the NL batting title, and Ramirez ? a career .306 hitter ? was the 2009 batting champ.
The two Dominicans are friendly, although Reyes recently said he hadn't heard from his fellow All-Star since signing.
"Between Reyes and me there is no problem," Ramirez said. "I respect him very much. He is a great person."
Ramirez spoke while taking batting practice at a Santo Domingo stadium Friday. He missed the final two months of last season with a left shoulder injury that required surgery.
"The shoulder is responding, and it's 95 percent rehabbed," Ramirez said. "I'm happy and better than ever."
He said he's excited about the Marlins' offseason spending spree, which included the signings of Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and All-Star closer Heath Bell, each an All-Star.
"We are a new Marlins club," Ramirez said. "There's also a new Hanley. Good stuff is coming for next season."

India see red over green Sydney track

SYDNEY: A definite tinge of green on the SCG track was not really surprising, but the Indian team was tight-lipped about the 22-yard surface that holds the key to the second Test and the series against Australia.At the MCG, quite a bit of thick dead grass had been rolled into the surface by the curator. It explained the spongy bounce. But with a fair bit of live grass, the SCG pitch looks firm and nice. According to curator Tom Parker, it will yield some turn on the last two days.
The Indians, however, are not taking Parker's word on face value. They are not quite worried about the grass, but the firmness of the wicket is making them see red. The three-pronged Australian pace attack - comprising Ben Hilfenhaus, James Pattinson and Peter Siddle - didn't go flat out in the nets, but had one eye on the square during a game of touch rugby inside the main arena. "The Sydney pitch is no longer as pace-friendly as it used to be a few seasons ago, but it should still keep our bowlers interested," said Mike Hussey.
Siddle, Hilfenhaus and Pattinson would be looking to give Indian batsmen a repeat dose of raw pace and steep bounce that they had served with relentless consistency at the MCG.
There was hint of a smile on Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan's faces. It was at this venue that Ishant had come of age four years ago and almost turned Ricky Ponting into his 'bunnyr'. The lanky pacer from Delhi will be itching to go all out here. And with Zaheer getting better with every outing and young Umesh Yadav firing them in all the time, Australian batsmen will not have it easy either.
India's batting continues to be a worry. The top guns, as well as the young turks, had a good session in the nets, but the body language continued to be sloth even as selectors Mohinder Amarnath and Narendra Hirwani tried their best to pep up the mood in the camp.
While the out-of-form Gambhir asked Amarnath to watch him bat in the nets and check if he was doing anything wrong, Hirwani was seen giving R Ashwin a few tips on releasing the ball as Ojha toiled hard under the sun, trying hard to make an impression. Given the nature of the wicket, though, it is unlikely that India will go in with two spinners here.
Both Australia and India are likely to retain the XI that did duty at the MCG.

Partial results: Congo legislative races close (AP)
KINSHASA, Congo ? Three Cabinet ministers allied to the president have lost their parliament seats, according to partial results from Congo's legislative elections that show the ruling party taking losses but still in the lead.
If the trend holds and the opposition makes substantial gains, it could change the political landscape of Congo, which effectively has been under one-man rule since its independence from Belgium in 1960, with a rubber-stamp parliament in recent years.
Congo's electoral commission also announced Wednesday night that it has restarted the suspended count of legislative ballots in the absence of U.S. and British observers who are supposed to help ensure transparency.
That could further fuel the cases being taken to the commission over the Nov. 28 presidential and legislative balloting that was marred by violence and fraud. Fourteen electoral officers have been arrested for alleged fraud and manipulation of vote counts, the electoral commission said Wednesday.
Incumbent Joseph Kabila was declared the winner by the country's Supreme Court and inaugurated last week despite the fraud condemned by the international community. Observers have said it is not clear who won the vote in this mineral-rich country impoverished by decades of dictatorship and civil war.
Human rights and civil society groups have condemned the international community for not doing more to uphold Congo's young democracy. The European Union has threatened to halt aid if there is no improvement in the counting of the legislative ballots, leading Kabila to invite the U.S. and British experts.
Congolese security forces have shot at and detained people attempting to protest Kabila's re-election. Human Rights Watch said last week that at least 24 people have been killed in such attacks to quell dissent.
The New York-based group said many more may have been killed since security forces appear to be quickly removing bodies to cover up the scale of the killings.
Opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi also has declared himself the winner of the presidential election and attempted to hold his own inauguration at a Kinshasa stadium before being stopped by security forces.
Tshisekedi's party said Tuesday that seven more of its supporters were killed by security forces on Friday and 540 detained to prevent the opposition leader holding his inauguration. Tshisekedi later held a ceremony in the back yard of his home.
Police chief Gen. Charles Bisengimana said no one was killed Friday and that police fired only tear gas.
The November elections were the first contested by Tshisekedi, a veteran 79-year-old politician who had opposed Congo's dictatorship since the 1980s and who boycotted the 2006 ballot that was the first democratic election in nearly half a century. That left a bunch of former warlords as the front-runners.
Then, Tshisekedi also urged his supporters not to register to vote, a decision that still haunts the party since parliament seats were allocated according to the number of registered voters, so Tshisekedi strongholds are represented by fewer legislators.
The partial and provisional results announced Wednesday include only 101 of the 500 parliament seats, and none of the major cities in the country that sprawls across Central Africa and covers an area larger than Western Europe. The results have been compiled from only 40 of the 1,469 counting centers. Some 19,000 candidates stood for election.
They gave the presidential party 23 seats to 14 for Tshisekedi's party, with the rest going to small parties.
In the current parliament, Kabila's party holds 111 seats but a coalition of parties supporting him holds another 220. Opposition parties have 170 seats, a third of them belonging to the party of Jean-Pierre Bemba, a former warlord and deputy president who awaits charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in The Hague.
