Hanley Ramirez or Jose Reyes in 2008?

Who would you take first in 2008, Hanley Ramirez or Jose Reyes?

I'd take Hanley. His power development is at a level beyond Reyes is at of course, and in the past couple of months his BB/SO has started to look a lot better which could be taken as a sign of improved plate discipline. I'd take the run production he is going to give over Reyes stolen base contributions (and Ramirez is no slouch there). Despite Reyes being the more patient of the two, Ramirez actually draws virtually the same P/PA so he could narrow that gap. Ramirez is going to top 80 XBH this season, and if he continues to progress, he could have a chance at 90 while he still has his speed.

I just hope the Marlins leave Ramirez in leadoff until he gets more comfortable, I don't know if it was a cold streak or the pressure of hitting #3 but that did not suit him at all and his numbers showed that.

Hanley Ramirez beats Reyes in all roto stat categories except triples and stolen bases.
