Jose Lobaton

It was recently reported by the Washington Post that Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos is likely headed for surgery on his left hand that could keep him out for four to eight weeks.

With the start of spring training just weeks away, Major League Baseball teams are looking for small pieces to upgrade the roster heading into the season. 

There are plenty of big names still available in the free-agent market, including Ubaldo Jimenez, Fernando Rodney, Nelson Cruz, Stephen Drew and many more. However, teams have shown an unwillingness to give out multi-year deals or big money for these types of players.

Jose Lobaton became the unlikely hero for the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday after hitting a walk-off home run in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox. In doing so, he sent shock waves throughout the twitterverse.
