Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez had surgery Wednesday morning to repair his left shoulder, which he has dislocated in the past.
Ramirez is expected to be ready for spring training, according to his agent, Andy Mota.
The shortstop finished with a .332 average, hit 29 home runs and stole 51 bases for the Marlins this season. He was voted the team's Most Valuable Player by members of the South Florida chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Ramirez partially dislocated the shoulder on a swinging miss in July and missed several games as a result. He said at the time he would consider undergoing the procedure following the season.
The surgery performed Wednesday was similar to that performed on former Marlin second baseman Luis Castillo when he suffered the same type of injury.

Seriously, put him inside a safe burble. He always seem to almost get injure in the game. Either by tripping running to first, colliding with his players, or running over the walls, freak swing accident. This guy is extremely luck to play a good amount of games for the last 2 season.
