Hanley Ramirez finishes second in the MVP Voting for the N.L.
25-year old righty swinging shortstop Hanley Ramirez finished second in the voting for the N.L. MVP Award behind only the superhuman Albert Pujols of the Cardinals. Ramirez played in 151 games last season for the Marlins and he was 197 for 576 (.342 avg, .954 OPS) with 101 runs scored, 24 homers, 106 RBIs and 27 stolen bases. He has now played in 618 games in his five year major league career and he is 771 for 2,439 (.316 avg, .917 OPS) with 470 runs scored, 103 homers, 313 RBIs and 164 stolen bases. Ramirez is quite simply the best hitting shortstop in all of baseball without a doubt and he should be able to win a MVP Award at some point in his career. He is the future of the Florida Marlins who have locked him up with a long term contract which was really smart of them.
