Because I think Rameriz is going to be a better baseball player than either of those two.

 

Based on what?

The fact he's a better baseball player.

 

Um, the stats currently show the opposite.

He's played 1/2 of a season, let's wait and see.

unless he learns how to take a walk, he will not be better than derosa

All I'm saying right now is him being better than DeRosa and Theriot is NOT a fact. Will he be better? Who knows, but you can't say he's better right now, sample size be damned.

Or not.

 

It seems to me you're basically saying he has the potential to be better... Aren't you the one who says that talk about "ceilings" and stuff like that is nonsensical "scoutspeak?"

 

What exactly are you basing the idea that Alexei Ramirez is a better baseball player than DeRosa or even Theriot on? Not facts.

 

His approach at the plate does little to encourage me into thinking he's anything better than mediocre.

Alexi Ramirez better than DeRosa or Theriot? I think someone is breathing too many Sudafed cooking fumes.

Right now, I would rather have Theriot and DeRosa. Next year, I'd probably take Ramirez over Theriot but doubt I would over DeRosa.

 

Ramirez is a real good ballplayer with amazing bat speed and a plus defender at either SS, CF, and 2B.

 

This is his 1st year of baseball in the states and he's done what I expected. I expect him to be similar to Derosa as far as avg. and HRs with more speed and a better defender w/out the BSs as Ramirez progresses.
