Hanley Ramirez, SS, FLA
Now is the time to make an offer for the knucklehead shortstop. You will still have to give up someone good, but there is no way HanRam hits .222 with no pop all year.

"From here on out the only thing that really matters is winning. I'm proud of saying that I've been a part of a group of guys here who have come in here and tried to kind of change the culture and get back to having the perception of being a winning organization, when guys like Robin Yount played here, Gorman Thomas, Paul Molitor, Jim Gantner, when all those guys were here, it was a special place to play."
