Manny Waiting till March 1

Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez will not report to training camp until March 1st. The team approved the delay and manager Terry Francona has said he was "OK with this." Ramirez will play for the Dominican Republic in the WBC roster, which has a reporting date of March 2. The new plan only gives Ramirez one-day in the Sox camp before the WBC begins on March 3.
