Shame that Chase Utley broke his hand, because for my money, he's got a higher OPS than Ramirez, 30 more RBI, 8 more extra base hits, and a better OBP and slugging percentage. His team is a contender and he's a gold glove candidate while only hitting 6 points below Ramirez, whom no one would know if he didn't lead the league in batting average.<BR/><BR/>Considering Utley's hurt, his teammate is a good bet to end up with the award for the second year in a row. Despite a lighter average, Howard is a top ten guy in a number of offensive categories and media-loved. I'm not saying that you don't have a point, I'm just saying it's not gonna happen.J.ust O.ver B.rokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278892327948523566noreply@blogger.com
