        <body>also..... how is Hanley Ramirez underrated? He is praised as one of the best young shortstops in the league and is leading NL shortstop All Star voting.  The marlins traded away mike lowell AND josh beckett for him. Hanley is a great player and everyone knows it and he is tlkaed about a lot.  He was on the cover of the latest issue of SI Kids. He was top 5 in NL MVp voting last year.  I like hanley but he is no way underrated.</body>

        <body>My vote goes to Mark Loretta, and the sad things is: He will most likely be traded off by the Astros before deadline...</body>

Over the past three-plus  seasons, through Sunday, Polanco, who went all of last season without making an  error, has batted .319, seventh highest in baseball.... Reds starter Aaron  Harang (sixth, 4%) was the only pitcher to receive more than 1% of the  vote.... Young averaged 97&amp;nbsp;RBIs from 2004 through &amp;#39;07, most among current  AL shortstops. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an expanded MLB poll from the June 30, 2008 issue of Sports  Illustrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&amp;#39;s your take on this poll?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
