Hanley and Albert

[NewsWhore]

Most Florida Marlins fans spent the year in a constant state of "Ooh and Aahs" whenever Hanley Ramirez came up to bat. But this off-season Ramirez will be the one oohing as he reflects on his first regular season batting title. The guy is good. Very good. Ramirez, beat out fellow NL slugger Albert Pujols for the award and became the first shortstop to win the title since Dick Groat did it in 1960. Think about it, when was the last time a guy in the middle hit with such consistency? Ramirez had a tremendous year, hitting .341 with 24 home runs, 106 RBI and 27 stolen bases. But don't feel bad for "El Hombre" Albert Pujols. Pujols had a monster year, even by his own standards and is the odds-on favorite for his 3rd MLB MVP. Word just in Albert Pujols is an illegal alien from Jupiter. Pujols hit 47 home runs, taking home the home-run crown, batted .327, with 135 RBI, 64 stolen bases and only 64 strike outs and will also be named to this year's All-Inter Galactic team. All hyperbole aside, the guy is that good.
