Hanley Ramirez

I remember him catching somebody stealing against the Marlins. I believe it was Hanley Ramirez and if I remember correctly Ramirez was perfect so far this season until he got caught by Posada. Cool, huh? There is no doubt that Jorgie is back to form before the injury. Throw in a couple of home runs here and there and you've got yourself one of the most exciting Yankee players to watch. I love it! Every time he throws the ball to second and catches a baserunner stealing, it shuts the mouths of all those skeptics out there who think he's coming off shoulder surgery and he's an easy stolen base. It shuts the mouths of all those skeptics out there that think he's done. It shuts the mouths of all those skeptics out there that think the Yanks should have kept Pudge. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Ivan Rodriguez. Congrats Pudge on beating Carlton Fisk for most appearances as a catcher. I have a lot of respect for him. He's just too clutch against the teams I root for and a straight-up dud when he plays on teams I root for. This frustrates me just a little bit. Let Pudge be a journeyman going from team to team making history. I'll just stick with Jorgie, the best catcher in baseball as a staple on the New York Yankees.

Hanley Ramirez SS – Florida Marlins

While Uggla is slugging at second, Florida’s Hanley Ramirez has become the undisputed best shortstop in the game. His numbers are staggering; as he’s on pace for over 35 homers, 80 RBI, 40 steals, and a run total that could reach as high as 150 runs. His numbers are getting dangerously close to the production that Alfonso Soriano put up in New York and Washington, but strikes out a tad less, and is equipped with a dazzling glove and rocket arm. His overall ability is remarkable, comparing only to a slightly weaker version of a young Alex Rodriguez. The parallels between the two are eerie; both five tool shortstops started shining with small market teams in their youth, along with talent capable of 40-40 seasons year after year.
