"\"&lt;p&gt;One of the great stories of the 2011 season was &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/statistics\\/players\\/cards\\/37869\\\"&gt;Neil Ramirez&lt;\\/a&gt;&amp;#39;s rise from slow-developing pitcher to top prospect. Ramirez jumped from high Class A to Triple-A for a spot start and pitched so well that he got to spend most of the season at the higher level.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ramirez won&amp;#39;t remember 2012 so fondly. He pitched poorly enough in a return to Round Rock that he was demoted back to Double-A Frisco recently. Then he was limited to roughly 60 pitches in two recent starts because of shoulder fatigue. The pitch limit wasn&amp;#39;t an issue on Tuesday, general ineffectiveness was. Ramirez gave up six runs and eight hits in 2 1\\/3 innings while walking two and striking out one. In a rough season for Ramirez this was the third time he&amp;#39;s failed to get out of the third.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ramirez&amp;#39;s velocity is down and his control this year has generally not been as sharp was it was in 2011, so there are some explanations for his struggles. But for a pitcher who has battled some injury issues in the past, it&amp;#39;s not necessarily a comforting explanation.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Ramirez&amp;#39;s struggles masked what was another nice day for the Frisco lineup. First baseman\\/third baseman &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/statistics\\/players\\/cards\\/?pl_id=37043\\\"&gt;Mike Olt&lt;\\/a&gt; hit his 23rd home run of the season and &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/statistics\\/players\\/cards\\/?pl_id=92595\\\"&gt;Jurickson Profar&lt;\\/a&gt; doubled. Profar started the game at second while normal second baseman &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/statistics\\/players\\/cards\\/?pl_id=89009\\\"&gt;Leury Garcia&lt;\\/a&gt; got a chance to start at shortstop, but Profar had to return to his normal spot after Garcia left the game with a foot injury after being hit by a pitch.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
