Ramirez should give team its first batting champion

By virtue of Albert Pujols going 0 for 4 Saturday and Hanley Ramirez going 1 for 2, the Marlins Get your Marlins Tickets now! will probably have their first batting champion.

Ramirez, who entered the game 11 for his past 62, hit an RBI double in the first and lined out in the third before exiting with a right knee contusion suffered on a steal of third in the first inning.

Ramirez raised his average to .342, 13 points ahead of Pujols. Pablo Sandoval began the day at .329. The Giant could finish 8 for 8 and still wouldn’t catch Ramirez.

“I know I was struggling, but I wasn’t looking on the computer to see what they were hitting,” Ramirez said. “I don’t think I did it myself. Everybody gave me little tips. I dedicate it for everybody in here.”

Florida Marlins know a larger payroll means some players won’t return in 2010

The Marlins fell short of the playoffs despite a winning season, which is causing conflicting thoughts for second baseman Dan Uggla: He can’t wait to see how they fare next year, but he knows he might not return.

Uggla is not alone. It will cost at least $43 million to bring back the current 25-man roster, and players know that won’t happen.

The Marlins, who conclude the season with a three-game series in Philadelphia starting Friday, aren’t expected to spend much more in 2010 than the $36.8 million they spent on this year’s payroll.

That means the organization will have to make some hard decisions regarding 13 arbitration-eligible players and three free agents.

“Maybe one or two guys are gone. You’ve got to deal with that and move forward,” said veteran infielder Wes Helms, who is signed through next season. “This is a very promising organization. They’ve shown they can win with a low payroll, with different players every year.”

Already great, Hanley is getting better

He has started back-to-back All-Star Games, put up early numbers comparable to some of the best ever at his position, is a popular No.1 pick in fantasy leagues and is having the season of his life

But what may be unnerving to some of history’s greatest shortstops is this: Hanley Ramirez is still getting better.

“Every time I see him, he does something that’s very impressive,” Hall of Famer Hank Aaron said. “He’s got all the tools — everything.”

In one 6-foot-3, 225-pound body, Ramirez can hit for average like Derek Jeter, drive the ball out of the park like Ernie Banks, run like Honus Wagner and play above-average defense — perhaps not Ozzie Smith-like, but very respectable, after some major improvements.

Sanchez aims to end season strong

At times, the Marlins see flashes of what made Anibal Sanchez so successful during his rookie season.

Then, at other times, the team watches the 25-year-old labor with his command. His pitch count tends to rise, and his outings become short.

Regaining the form of his 2006 rookie season remains a high priority for Sanchez, who has dealt with right shoulder issues since his first big league campaign.

When healthy, Sanchez has the potential to become an elite pitcher. The problem right now is not so much physically, but more mechanically.

Sanchez aware of series’ importance

This week’s four-game series against the Braves could make or break the Marlins’ season, and pitcher Anibal Sanchez knows it.

The right-hander, who has made two starts since returning from the disabled list Aug. 21, believes a successful series against their National League East rival would propel the Marlins closer to their goal of reaching the playoffs.

“I think this is the biggest series of the season,” Sanchez said. “It’s a huge opportunity to establish ourselves in second place and get a good spot in the Wild Card race. I think we just need to take it one game at a time, and if we play like we can, we should be able to win some games and establish a good position going forward.”
