I am amazed at how Hanley Ramirez gets drafted in the top four without much hesitation. If I had a top four pick, I wouldn't draft him. I'm not saying he will be a bust, but I think people are overlooking the loss of Miguel Cabrera. That is a lot less runs he will score and there will be pressure on him to be the run producer. He is also coming off shoulder surgery.
Then Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said he would prefer Ramirez run less this season to keep him healthy. I think a big reason people draft him so highly is because of his steals with 51 two consecutive seasons. If he doesn't run as often, that certainly drops his value.

Ronis,
I agree with you on Hanley. He certainly is a 1st round pick but I would not draft him ahead of Wright, Reyes, Hollliday or Rollins this year..
