Hanley Ramirez is Not Predicted to Make it Into the Second Round of the 2010 Home Run Derby

The 25th annual Homer Run Derby is taking place in Angels Stadium in Anaheim. Last year Prince Fielder took home the derby trophy. This year Fielder will not be back to defend his title. There will be five new derby contestants this year, it is time for a fresh young batch of players to liven things up a bit. Here are my predictions for how everyone will do tonight, starting from least favorite.

7. Hanley Ramirez, Florida Marlins: Ramirez is entering the derby with the least amount of home runs out of everyone participating. Ramirez has 13 home runs and is slugging .485. Ramirez is having an average year so far. Ramirez is on pace to have about the same number as last season except his average is down 41 points. Ramirez is not generally know as a power hitter, the most home runs he had in one season was 33 back in 2008. Ramirez is also at a disadvantage as a right-handed batter. I think Ramirez will hit about four home runs.

Hanley Ramirez Makes #2 of the Best Shortstops of 2010

Only one of the big three shortstops remain, Derek Jeter. Nomar Garciapara retired this year and Alex Rodriguez moved over to third base when he came to the Yankees. Now when people ask who the premier shortstops are? They struggle to get two or three names out. I somehow came up with the top five shortstops of 2010, it was a struggle, but here they are.

2. Hanley Ramirez, Florida Marlins: Ramirez has established himself as one of the next generation of elite shortstops. Pound for pound Ramirez is the complete package player. He hits for power, he hits for average, and he steals bases. The only problem is that he plays for the Marlins. With the Mets getting hot and the Braves establishing themselves as the team to beat in the NL East again, the Marlins are falling quickly out of contention for yet another year.
Ramirez is starting off slowly this year, but like Jeter, Ramirez’s slow start is still better than most of the shortstops in the league, except for number one. Ramirez is hitting .286 with 11 home runs and 40 RBI’s. Ramirez who is a career .311 hitter has shown signs of frustration and may want out of Florida. Ramirez is known to play worse when he doesn’t get his way and I think he is frustrated because he is such a good player, and he doesn’t get as much recognition as he should. If Ramirez played for New York or Boston he would be making a ton more money and everyone would know who he is. Just like i said with Dan Uggla, they are wasting their talent for a most likely last place team by the time the season is over. If the Marlins decide they cannot compete this year they should do the right thing and trade Ramirez to a winning team.

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.”

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.

Marlins pound Mets to complete sweep

All season, the Marlins have stressed winning series. Now, with games winding down, there is a necessity to compile some sweeps. The Marlins did just that this week against the Mets at Citi Field.

Powered by Nick Johnson’s four RBIs and Hanley Ramirez’s three hits, the Marlins cruised to a 13-4 win over the Mets on Thursday night in front of 37,620 at Citi Field.

The win gave the Marlins their first sweep over the Mets in New York since taking four straight Aug. 30-Sept. 2, 2004. Now at 75-65, the Marlins are 10 games over .500 for the first time since they were 11-1 on April 19.
