The Great Debate: Ramirez or Reyes

Recently there has been a large amount of articles around the internet playing the “Shortstop Comparison Game” in the National League as it’s one of the strongest positions this season, especially in the NL East. Our very own Hanley Ramirez is on the top of many lists and many writers agree he has the edge over Reyes mainly b/c of his power. I’m not about to get into the comparison’s today as I will devote a post for that later in the year when blogging is slow mid summer. I did however want to bring to your attention the many articles comparing the 2 young shortstop phenoms.

Considering this is a South Florida site this might be a bad idea but I got it from the good guys over on Complete Sports. Participate in the Reyes vs Hanley poll. Remember if there is one thing Hanley can do it’s rock a pair of badass Shadez.
