Hanley Ramirez

[fantasygeek2006]

I've only been able to find a couple scouting reports on him and not any career projections. I thoguh this kid was supposed to be really special and now seems as though at 22, he is considered a bust. What has happened?

I haven't been able to find out much about him myself but I was wondering too as I need a SS for my keeper league.
Anyway from what I understand, some think that he is being pushed into a starting role but that he is not ready yet and it could not only tamper his stats this year but also hurt his development.
I'm getting the impression he has good long term value but he won't be a solid bet for 2006.

Hanley has all five tools and could be great. However he has shown make up problems and has yet to put up the numbers his tools should allow. Until he has that breakout season he will be considered a bust.


He will be given a chance to win the starting shortstop this year in Spring training
