May 26, 200520 yr Aramis Ramirez -- 4 years, $42 million contract. After tonight's 0 for 4 effort, Aramis Ramirez is now batting .226 with 7 homers and 18 RBI's. This guy makes Jermaine Dye look like a steal.

But Jim Hendry was a genius for getting this guy for next to nothing.
May 26, 200520 yr ramirez will have a monster second half. Book it. Sox fans of all people should know about early season slumps, especially after a one Paul Konerko back in 2003. He's also had a lot of nagging injuries.

He might not finish well. It will be interesting.

May 26, 200520 yr I wouldn't exactly count out Beltre or Ramirez just yet. Both of these guys have a ton of talent, which is why it was so frustrating when these guys were disappointing early in their career. Beltre has certainly looked bad, but I think in the long run his numbers will be somewhere between those of this year so far and those of last season. Remember, he hit 48 homers playing most of his games at Chavez Ravine, which is definitely not a hitter's haven. Ramirez has had a couple of years that were pretty good. He was almost as solid in 2001 one for the Pirates as he was for the Cubs last year, and his combined numbers from 2003 weren't all bad. Both of them still have several years to deliver on the contracts they received.
